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
God Bless America. Land that I love Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above. From the mountains, to the prairies ,
To the oceans, white with foam God bless America My home sweet home
Candle Light Walk with Bagpipers

A Circle of Love

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

Hundreds of Names Copied with Lead

A Circle of Life 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.

Listen to the "The Prayer " Sung by Josh Groban & Charlotte Church
( Wait for the Other Song to Finish Playing or Pause It )

And You Know God Smiled and the Heavens Rejoiced for 4 Days In May.
It Was a Field of Honor and Became Sacred Ground for a Few Moments in Time.

And Everyday You Could Feel the Seats were Filled
with Thousands of Grateful Spirits from Above.

As the Movie "Field of Dreams" Said " Build It and They Will Come"
And They Did and They Felt the Love!

Proud to Have Been a Part of It. Mitch Lange - Flower Show Florist & Island Cruises & Travel - Member of the Decorating Committee
