The Lion King, like many of Disney’s animated classics, is an absolutely inspiring film. The soundtrack contributes to the fantastic atmosphere by using original works from none other than Sir Elton John. “Circle of Life” is a song that goes beyond the world of the lions in the jungle to become a stirring ballad about of the joy and sadness that all creatures on this earth feel. We are all a part of the circle of life, and this great song celebrates all that that means.
