Lyrics "Circle of Life"
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
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 (Chorus)
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 the great and small on the endless round
It's the Circle of Life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle
The Circle of Life
A Circle of Light

America. Land that I love Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with

Lyrics for "
Can You Feel The Love
"
from the Lion King
( One of the Choral
Groups Sang This Song on Saturday )
Lyrics
- "Can You Feel the Love" from Lion King
(Chorus)
And can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can you feel the love tonight
How it's laid to rest?
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
There's a time for everyone
If they only learn
That the twisting kaleidoscope
Moves us all in turn
There's a rhyme and reason
To the wild outdoors
When the heart of this star-crossed voyager
Beats in time with yours
Can You Feel
The Love
Hundreds of Prayers Were Said
Hundreds of Tears Were Shed

Where In Our Reflection He Lives In Us
( Lyrics from "He Lives in
Me" Also from the Lion King )
There's no mountain too great
Hear the words and have faith
Have faith
(Chorus)
He lives in you
He lives in me
He watches over
Everything we see
Into the water
Into the truth
In your reflection
He lives in you

A Circle of Prayers
Many
prayer circles were formed and the one Mrs. Doty formed around a
Mother and her Son who was to be deployed to Afghanistan this
coming August stands out. She read him 3 bible verses from
memory, wrote them on a card and told him to place it in his
helmet when he got there. He said he didn't know the Bible very
well but he left with a tear in his eye. Mrs Doty, the Wall
owners wife, is the daughter of Jewish concentration camp
survivors and is a Christian.
