Yowa Cross, Dikenga and the Lion King

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.

Elton John, The Circle of Life from The Lion King
Lyrics by Tim Rice

Do you see similarities between Dikenga and the circle of life?
You can listen to this great song here.
Thanks Gabe for bringing this to my attention!
