CIRCLE OF LIFE (THE LION KING, 1994)

Arguably, the most successful animated film from Disney in recent years was The Lion King. The story centers around the life of a young lion prince named Simba, his journey to become the lion king. Sir Elton John sang one of his famous songs from the film's soundtrack, Circle Of Life. One of the biggest hits in box-office history, the animated family flick was recently being shown again in theaters in 3D.






CIRCLE OF LIFE


sung by: Elton John



From the day we arrive on the planet


And blinking, step into the sun


There's more to be seen than can ever be seen


More to do than can ever be done



Some say eat or be eaten


Some say live and let live


But all are agreed as they join the stampede


You should never take more than you give



In the circle of life


It's the wheel of fortune


It's the leap of faith


It's the band of hope


Till we find our place


On the path unwinding


In the circle, the circle of life



Some of us fall by the wayside


And some of us soar to the stars


And some of us sail through our troubles


And some have to live with the scars



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

OH, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MORNIN’ (OKLAHOMA!, 1955)

Oklahoma! is just one of the numerous Rodgers and Hammerstein's movie-musical production. The story centers around a two cowboys (Gordon McRae and Rod Steiger) who vie for the affection of young women. One of them is a prairie lady named Laurey (Shirley Jones). The late McRae as the good natured Curly sang the iconic and cheery Oh, What A Beautiful Mornin'.


OH, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MORNIN’
sung by: Gordon MacRae


There’s a bright golden haze on the meadow

There’s a bright golden haze on the meadow

The corn is as high as an elephant’s eye

And it looks like it’s climbin’ clear up to the sky


Oh, what a beautiful morning

Oh, what a beautiful day

I’ve got a beautiful feeling

Everything’s going my way




All the sounds of the earth are like music

All the sounds of the earth are like music

The breeze is so busy it don’t miss a tree

And an ol’ Weepin’ Willer is laughin’ at me


Oh, what a beautiful morning

Oh, what a beautiful day

I’ve got a beautiful feeling

Everything’s going my way
Oohh, what a beautiful day
