Lyrics
Broken Circle
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What can we do as a family?
What plan can we devise
That accommodates everyone's schedule
And still survives?
At the alter of progress
The family is sacrificed
Is wishing there was another way
To pay the price
Ashes, ashes
We all fall down
No one wants a broken circle
Get up off of the ground
Family, family
Center of our lives
Broken circle, heal thyself
Hands together, bind
There is a painting on our wall
I've loved it all these years
Without knowing the reason
And now it's clear:
A happy company of people
Going out to a ball
Mother, brother, father
Sisters all
Ashes, ashes
We all fall down
Well, no one wants a broken circle
Can you get up off of the ground?
Family, family
Center of our lives
Broken circle, heal thyself
hands together, bind
