Lyrics
The Circle Breaks
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.
A man walks down a beaten path
his hands are worn and cracked
haunted by the images of his past
there's nothing left but to look back
Standing incomplete and alone
her leaves will fall no more
with all the things that she's been shown
if only she had known before
As the circle breaks the trend
good things must always end
you will see that life lives for you
and that you can transcend
when you take the things you've found
and stop to look around
you will see it's not the end
when the circle breaks the trend
A soft wind blows and with it brings
the scenes of days long past
when leaves were green and branches strong
those days went by so fast
As he walks a path leads to
an old friend he once knew
in this holy place he used to play
to wash all pain and fear away
As the circle breaks the trend
good things must always end
you will see that life lives for you
and that you can transcend
when you take the things you've found
and stop to look around
you will see it's not the end
when the circle breaks the trend
He stops to rest and catch his breath
a leaf descends onto the ground
he then looks up, he's taken back
left in awe by what he's found
A better thing they could not find
as night proclaims the end of day
as he leaves this world behind
he's finally found the place he'll stay
As the circle breaks your trend
good things must always end
you will see that life lives for you
and that you can transcend
when you take the things you've found
and stop to look around
you will see it's not the end
when the circle breaks your trend
