The Circle

G
I've been here for a million years
F G
trough the joy, through the tears
F
but when I'm gone this will go on
G
and the circle starts again.
G
I've watched the mountains rise from dust
F G
Saw the gold return to rust,
F
I had cried when the oceans died,
G
and the circle starts again.
Refrain: F, Cm, F, Cm
G
I was here when the world began to turn
F G
Kissed the sun as it started to burn,
F
The whispering at the reckoning
G
said: "The Circle starts again"
G
The moon was rising from above
F G
I caught her eye and thought it was love,
F
but she turned her back, the sky went black,
G
and the circle starts again..
Refrain: F Cm F Cm
Dm
I dance through castles made of stone
G Dm
Walked the desert sands alone
G
In the midnight hour, You feel the power
Dm
and the circle starts again.
Dm
Now question falls to you my friend:
G Dm
no beginning has no end,
G
will we ever learn? with the world still turn?
Dm
will the circle start again?
Refrain: C D C D
