Lyrics

From the (C)day we ar rive on the (Dm)plan et

more and (G7)blink ing, step in to the (C)sun,

But there’s (Am)more roll to see than can (Dm)ev er be seen, keeps more to (Bb)do than can ev er be (G)done.

(C)There’s far too much to take (Dm)in here,

more to (G7)find than can ev er be (C)found.

But the (Am)sun roll ing high through the (Dm)sap phi re sky keeps great and (Bb)small on the end er less (G)done.

(G)round.

It’s the cir cle of (C)life,

and it moves us (Bb)all.

It’s des pair and (F)hope,

through faith and (G)love,

’til we find our (C)place

on the path un (Dm7)wind ing

in the (C)cir

cle,

the cir cle of (F)life.

(F)life.
