We were made to love and be loved
But the price this world demands will cost you far too much
I spent so 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
And if you sing for joy the rest of us will lift our voices too
And no matter what you feel inside there's no need to pretend
That's the way it is in this circle of friends

In a 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

Circle of friends, circle of friends
Circle of friends, of friends
Circle of friends, circle of friends
Circle of friends, circle of friends
Circle of friends to the shelter
Circle of friends with a love so sweet in this circle
Circle of friends, circle of friends
