(*Liles, Robert Ellis Orrall, Roger Springer) |
|
I don't understand why |
|
We do what we do to each other |
|
According to His word |
|
We're all born sisters and brothers |
|
But we lie and we steal, fight and we kill |
|
Even though we know the way |
|
Why do we go dancing in circles |
|
When we know it never ends |
|
We come so close |
|
To loving each other and then |
|
We go dancing in circles again |
|
All through the ages |
|
We've tried to share this world together |
|
Turning the pages |
|
Pretending we'll live here forever |
|
But we'll have to face our maker some day |
|
And reap what we've sown on the way |
|
Why do we go dancing in circles |
|
When we know it never ends |
|
We come so close |
|
To loving each other and then |
|
We go dancing in circles again |
|
We know how |
|
So why can't we just get it right |
|
And I pray someday |
|
We'll overcome all the damage |
|
We've done |
|
And we'll fly |
|
Why do we go dancing in circles |
|
When we know it never ends |
|
We come so close, so close to living His plan |
|
Loving each other like sisters and brothers and then |
|
We go dancing in circles again |
|
Oh, yeah |
