The Circle of Life
Life is just a circle
Filled with many paths
Some people stroll along them
And others run so fast
Me? I am a runner
Dashing here and there
Always in hurry
To avoid my fear
But, you know, I think I’ve got it now
There is no need to fear
I’m learning to slow down my pace
And treasure what is here
Instead of my life passing me
In a vision of fog and haze
I’m taking much more pleasure
Embracing all my days
The future is uncertain
And really never seen
Too much time is lost
Thinking ‘bout what might have been
The part of most importance
Is the present, here and now
And I don’t want to waste it
I get the reason now!
