Text: Michelle Wright. Circle of Life.

I've been living in a hurry
Searchin' for my place in time
Daily life is getting to me
Same old people, same old grind

Standing on a crowded sidewalk
No one looks you in the eye
It's like we're all just missing something
And life just keeps on passing by

So come on won't you stop and smell the roses
Come along days go by before you know it
Round and round we go when it stops nobody knows
So open up your heart, enjoy the ride, circle of life
Circle, circle of life

Mrs. Johnson in her big house
Perfect life, white picket fence
But in the night you will hear her crying
Praying for a second chance

When we search for all that glitters
It only leads us to fool's gold
Going faster into nowhere
Hoping glory's down the road

So come on won't you stop and smell the roses
Come along days go by before you know it
Round and round we go when it stops nobody knows
So open up your heart, enjoy the ride, circle of life
Circle, circle of life

Like a photograph in time
The living's in between the lines
So close your eyes and hope you find the right direction
Make a real connection to life

So come on won't you stop and smell the roses
Come along days go by before you know it
Round and round we go when it stops nobody knows
So open up your heart, enjoy the ride, circle of life
Circle, circle of life

Round and round we go when it stops nobody knows
Circle, circle of life
