Hands In The Circle

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When my back was bent low You came to my door With a pot on the stove And a promise to pour You knew my name When I could not speak You held up my arms When I was weak [Pre-Chorus] One heart, one bread One prayer rising One voice said You are not alone, no [Chorus] We carry each other We carry each other Strong as the circle Hold us together We carry each other We carry each other Hands in the circle He lifts us higher [Verse 2] I seen the same tears Fall on your cheek I seen the same faith Make the broken speak A mother, a brother A table, a chair Every small mercy Still meets us there [Pre-Chorus] One heart, one bread One prayer rising One voice said You are not alone, no [Chorus] We carry each other We carry each other Strong as the circle Hold us together We carry each other We carry each other Hands in the circle He lifts us higher [Bridge] When one sings out We all answer back When one bends down We all close the gap If the road gets hard We do not fold We stand as one And we hold [Chorus] We carry each other We carry each other Strong as the circle Hold us together We carry each other We carry each other Hands in the circle He lifts us higher [Outro] Hands in the circle Heart on fire Hands in the circle He lifts us higher
