{the circle of life ground forms in the bs's and holds its pattern for eight bars. it is a non-chordal bs part. the progressions are in the medium ranges of the strings.various pans and camera views of african animals all moving. coinciding with the fs pickup in the eighth bar, we first view the giraffes, panning to a long shot of all the animals in their procession}
[the circle of life text]
fs: from the day we arrive on the planet
and, blinking, step into the sun
there's more to see than can ever be seen
more to do than can ever be done
{camera is panning and jumping to elephants, zebras, ants, birds, storks, etc... }
there's far too 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
{when the 'the circle of life' is mentioned the long-distance pan centers on pride rock where all the animals are gathering. mufasa is on pride rock. long camera arc to mufasa and zazu.}
it's the circle of life
and it moves us all
{zazu bows to mufasa, who smiles and nods at him}
through despair and hope
through faith and love
{appearance of rafiki, the mandrill. he passes between ranks of animals, who bow to him; he then climbs pride rock to where mufasa is standing.}
till we find our place
on the path unwinding
