Circle of Life is the opening song from Disney's 1994 animated film The Lion King, written by Elton John and Tim Rice and performed at the start by Carmen Twillie with Lebo M. Its sunrise scene became one of the most recognised openings in family cinema, which is why the music is instantly understood as a moment of birth, arrival or triumph. Online, that meaning turned it into a template for proud reveals, and in this version it is attached to Leon as a Torhymne, a German style goal anthem for celebrating a score.
