Dancing In Circles - Love and Theft

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 tried to share this world together

Turning the pages, pretending we’ll live here forever

But we’ll have to face our maker someday

And reap what we’ve sown all 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
