Rob Moseley reported that the featured song today at practice was karaoke standard “The Circle of Life” by Elton John and Tim Rice. Don’t know if there’s a deep meaning in the choice, but it does talk about despair and hope and finding our place. Certainly a football season has elements of all three. With the Ducks facing a top ten matchup this week with College Game Day in town, maybe it’s a reminder to have perspective and acceptance in the face of hype and frenzy.
Or maybe Coach Kelly just likes the soaring melody, or tweaking the ever-inquisitive media. Certainly with the Cardinal taking such pride in their cruelty, an appeal to wisdom and character doesn’t seem like a bad idea:
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
Music by Elton John, lyrics by Tim Rice
