We were made to love and be loved
But the price this world demands
Will cost you far too much
I spent so many lonely years trying to fit in

Now I've found a place in this circle of friends
In a circle of friends
We have one Father
In a circle of friends

We share this prayer
That every orphaned soul will know
And all will enter in
To the shelter of this circle of friends

If you weep, I will weep with you
If you sing for joy
The rest of us will lift our voices too
But no matter what you feel inside
There's no need to pretend

That's the way it is in this circle of friends
In a circle of friends
We have one Father
In a circle of friends
We share this prayer
Then we'll gather together
No matter how the highway bends
I will not lose this circle of friends

Among the nations, tribes and tongues
We have sisters and brothers
And when we meet in heaven
We will recognize each other

With joy so deep and love so sweet
We'll celebrate these friends
And a life that never ends
In a circle of friends
We have one Father
In a circle of friends

We share this prayer
That it will not be long before
All will enter in
To the shelter of this circle of friends
That it will not be long before
All will enter in
To the shelter of this circle of friends
