circle of friends

we were made to love and be loved

but the price this world demands

will cost you far too much

i spent so many lonely years

trying to fit in

now i've found a place in this circle of friends

in a circle of friends

we have one father

in a circle of friends

we share this prayer

that every orphaned soul will know

and all will enter in

to the shelter of this circle of friends

if you weep

i will weep with you

if you sing for joy

the rest of us will lift our voices too

but no matter what you feel inside

there's no need to pretend

that's the way it is in this circle of friends

in a circle of friends

we have one father

in a circle of friends

we share this prayer

then we'll gather together

no matter how the highway bends

i will not lose this circle of friends

among the nations

tribes and tongues

we have sisters and brothers

and when we meet in heaven

we will recognize each other

with joy so deep

and love so sweet

we'll celebrate these friends

and a life that never ends

in a circle of friends

we have one father

in a circle of friends

we share this prayer

that it will not be long before

all will enter in

to the shelter of this circle of friends

that it will not be long before

all will enter in

to the shelter of this circle of friends
