From the (D)day we ar rive on this plan et
and (A)blink ing step in to the sun,
there is (Bm)more to see than can (Em)ev er be seen, more to (C)do than can ev er be (A7sus)done.
There is (D)far too much to take in here,
more to (A)find than can ev er be (D)found.
But the (Bm)sun roll ing high
through the (Em)sap phire sky keeps great and (C)small on the end less round.
It’s the (A7)cir cle of (D)life
and it moves us all
through de spair and (G)hope,
through faith and (Asus)love.
Till we find our (D)place,
on the path un wind ing,
in the (D)cir cle,
the (A7)cir cle of life.
It’s the (A7)cir cle of (D)life

through faith and (Asus)love.
Till we find our (F)place
