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 brothersBut we lie and we steal, fight and we kill
Even though we know the wayWhy 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 againAll through the ages we tried to share
This world together
Turning the pages
Pretending we'll live here foreverBut we'll have to face our maker someday
And reap what we've sown all the wayWhy 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 againWe 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 fightWhy 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
