CRISIS & PROTEST
LYRICS WINNER

Picture
 THIS CIRCLE
by
Rowena Neilson


There’s no one as blind
As those who won’t see
Praise all the lies
Drown the truth in the sea
Celebrate those
Who seek to destroy
Protest against those
Who offer us joy

Defending our right to be wrong
Through words and action and song
We do nothing but fight
All those who are right
So sadly this war must go on

We pray for a world
That praises the sin
Celebrate evil
And all that it brings
We weep with the angels
For what we’ve become
And pray all our wrongs
Can still be undone

When we were born we were pure
In need of love nothing more
We asked for the chance
To learn how to dance
Instead we learned nothing but war

What will it take
To make us all see
This circle of life
Moves endlessly
Children are watching
How we behave
And fear is
Destroying the brave

Defending our right to be wrong
Through words and action and song
We do nothing but fight
All those who are right
So sadly this war must go on

So sadly this war must go on
So sadly this war must go on
