Inspiring Song: Circle of Life from The Lion King (1994)

A beautiful and inspiring song.

 

Favourite Lines

" 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 "

Nants ingonyama bagithi Baba  (Here comes a lion, Father)

Nants ingonyama bagithi baba

Sithi uhhmm ingonyama

The deep female lead vocals:

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

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

It's the Circle ... path unwinding

In the Circle

The Circle of Life

Personal Reflection
What if Life was simple and sweet with no ups and downs ?
What if we could see the future ?
I believe uncertainty is what makes life Life.
Give Life a chance to surprise you...

Inspiring Song: Somewhere Over The Rainbow by Judy Garland

Dedicated to all our dreams !!
Special thanks to Rainbows for igniting our souls !!

Quote
" 'Over the Rainbow' has become part of my life. It's so symbolic of everybody's dreams and wishes that I'm sure that's why some people get tears in their eyes when they hear it. I've sung it thousands of times and it's still the song that's closest to my heart. "  -- Judy Garland

Song Details
'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' was written for the movie The Wizard of Oz (1939) and was sung by actress Judy Garland, in her starring role as Dorothy Gale.
Song Name: Over the Rainbow or Somewhere Over The Rainbow
Singer: Judy Garland
Lyricist: E.Y. Harburg
Composer: Harold Arlen

Song Lyrics

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high

There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue

And the dreams that you dare to dream,

Really do come true

Someday I'll wish upon a star

And wake up where the clouds are far behind me

Where troubles melt like lemon drops,

High above the chimney tops,

That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly

Birds fly over the rainbow

Why then, oh why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow

Why, oh why can't I?

Personal Reflection
I wish I could go back in time...
To be free and fearless like a child...
