The Circle of Life

Circle of Life" is the iconic opening song from The Lion King (1994), composed by Elton John with lyrics by Tim Rice. The song sets the stage for the film, celebrating the natural cycle of life, birth, and destiny. It plays during the breathtaking opening sequence, where animals across the Pride Lands gather to witness the presentation of Simba, the future king. With its powerful African-inspired chants and uplifting melody, Circle of Life captures the film’s themes of growth, change, and interconnectedness in nature.
