Lyrics

CIRCLE OF LIGHT

I walked to the edge of the woods
And I stopped and I stared where I stood
You came and you took my hand and said
I’ll walk you to that promised land

A way yay hey

Just watch your foot as it steps onto the ground
We’ll take it so slowly, you won’t need to turn around
I’ve got experience with reluctance you see
Cos just last week that was me

A way yay hey

The circle, the circle, a circle of light
You take the left and I’ll come up right
All knit together, one to the other
Oh sister, ah brother
A circle of light

Your eyes were a luminescent hue
They led me past what I thought I could do
Soon we were there in the forest of dreams
When I heard up above me the loudest of screams

A way yay hey

It said, ‘hey you, hey you, you down there, just got here I see
Well, reach up your hands, I’ll pull you up here with me
Cos once you’re up, you’re never back down
You’ll grab the next one who comes around’

A way yay hey

The circle, the circle, a circle of light
You take the left and I’ll come up right
All knit together, one to the other
Oh sister, ah brother
A circle of light

I saw you out of the corner of my eyes
Down at the edge of the woods, paralyzed
I came up and I took your hand
And I said, I’ll walk you to the promised land

A way yay hey

The circle, the circle, a circle of light
You take the left and I’ll come up right
All knit together, one to the other
Oh sister, ah brother
The circle, the circle, a circle of light
You take the left and I’ll come up right
All knit together, one to the other
Oh sister, ah brother, oh sister, ah brother, oh sister oh brother,
A circle of light, a circle of light, a circle of light
