Broken Circle Lyrics

Broken Circle

-------------

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
