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 fight

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
