(*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
