Lyrics
| Lebo M: | |
| Nants ingonyama bagithi baba | Here comes a lion, Father |
| Sithi uhm ingonyama | Oh, yes, it's a lion |
| Ingonyama | A lion |
| Nants ingonyama bagithi baba | |
| Sithi uhhmm ingonyama | |
| Ingonyama | |
| Siyo nqoba | We're going to conquer |
| Ingonyama | |
| Chant: | |
| Ingonyama nengw' enamabala | The royal lion wears his leopard spots |
| (Repeat) | |
| Lindiwe Mkhize: | |
| 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 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 | |
