Dancing in circles

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

Chorus:
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 try 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 on the way

Chorus:
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

Bridge:
We know how so
why can't we just get it right
I pray someday we'll overcome all the damage we've done and we'll fly

Chorus:
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
