We were made to love and be loved

But the price this world demands will cost you far too much

I spent too many lonely years just 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 this circle of friends we have one Father

In a circle of friends we share this prayer

That 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

Oh, 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
