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
CHORUS:
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'll 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
CHORUS
Like a photograph in time
The living'n in between the lines
So close your eyes and hope you find the right direction
Make a real connection to life
CHORUS
Round and round we go
When it stops nobody knows
Circle, circle of life
