Circle of Life Lyrics

From the day we arrived on the planet
and blinking stepped into the sun
theres more to see than can ever be seem
more to do than can ever be done
some say eat or be eaten
some say live and let live
But all are agreed, as we join the stampede
You should never take more than you give

in the circle of life, its the wheel of fortune
its the leap of faith
its the band of hope
till we find our place
on the path unwinding
in the circle, the circle of life

some of us fall by the wayside
some of us soar to the stars
and some of us sail through our troubles
and some have to live with the scars
theres far to much to take in here
more to find than can ever be found
but the sun rolling high through the sapphire sky
keeps great and small on the endless round

in the circle of life, its the wheel of fortune
its the leap of faith
its the band of hope
till we find our place
on the path unwinding
in the circle, the circle of life

in the circle of life, its the wheel of fortune
its the leap of faith
its the band of hope
till we find our place
on the path unwinding
in the circle, the circle of life

Are you crazy? If this comment was about some dumb rapper or some stupid screaming metal "singer" or a whiney little Daddy's girl, I bet their "fans" would tear this guy to pieces. But no, when it goes for someone really big, all we can say that this song [as well as each and every other Elton's song] ROCKS. Everything's said in the lyrics. And what's not there is tucked into the music. So there isn't really a point in doing brainless critics about this piece of music. You can say whatever you like, but music that is so powerful that can change your life, fill you up with energy and make you think as a better person, is true master work. And that's why Elton John deserves his good $, especially after he has worked for them all his life because he did not have everything given for granted. In fact, he had nothing given for granted. He had to start from the bottom, having only his talent. When you're as good as him in every way, than make your good $ and noone will blame you. [except for some stupid jerk like you who would, of course, come and leave his dumb comment cause he has nothing else to say].

Well first I think that Elton John is a very talented artist. Besides that, I know of his sexual orientation. As we all know. But you cannot deny the true beauty in this song. Why can't anyone just accept that without being judgmental.Hence goes the live and let live. This song has a true meaning to me, it brings reality.
