Circle of Forgiveness

(mhm-mm) We built our walls with rigid lines Triangles sharp,

refusing to bend

We drew the borders of our minds

Locked the gate and called it the end

But a curving edge was waiting there Softly softening our stony stare

How do we let the stranger through?

Oh, let the circle in tonight!

Let it round the corners of our pride

Heavy hearts are learning to forgive Opening up the space to let

them live (yeah)

We thought a perfect square was safe No room for grace,

no room to move

But looking back at every mistake We found the rhythm,

we found the groove

And the roundness didn't break our frame It only taught us how

to speak their name How do we let the healing start?

Oh, let the circle in tonight!

Let it round the corners of our pride

Heavy hearts are learning to forgive

Opening up the space to let them live

Let the circle in... (mmm-mm)

We are rounding out our lines
