Well 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
Try to share this world together
Turning the pages, pretending
We'll live here forever

But we'll have to face
Our maker someday
And reap what we've sown all 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

And 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 fight

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
