Circle of Friends
Embracing Love's Cost: Circle of Friends Song Meaning
Lyrics
We were made to love and be loved
We were created to experience love and to reciprocate love.
But the price this world demands will cost you far too much
Living according to societal expectations will demand too high a cost from us.
I spent so many years just trying to fit in
I spent a significant amount of time attempting to conform and belong.
Now I've found a place in this circle of friends
Now, I've discovered my place within a community of close friends.
In a circle of friends we have one Father
Within this group of friends, we acknowledge one common Father.
In a circle of friends we share this prayer
We, as friends, unite in this shared prayer.
That every orphaned soul will know
We hope that every person who feels abandoned will find belonging.
And all will enter in
We wish for all to be included and welcomed.
To the shelter of this circle of friends
This group of friends provides a refuge or protection for those within it.
If you weep, I will weep with you
I will empathize and share your sorrows if you are in pain.
If you sing for joy the rest of us will lift our voices too
If you experience happiness, we will join in and celebrate with you.
But no matter what you feel inside there's no need to pretend
You don't have to pretend or hide your true feelings among friends.
That's the way it is in this circle of friends
This honesty and acceptance are customary within this circle of friends.
In a circle of friends
Emphasizing the unity and connection within this circle of friends.
We have one father
Reiterating the acknowledgment of one common Father among friends.
In a circle of friends we share this prayer
Reaffirming the communal prayer shared among friends.
That we'll gather together no matter how the highway bends
We commit to staying united regardless of the challenges we face.
I will not lose this circle of friends
I'm determined not to lose the bond and support of these friends.
Among the nations, tribes and tongues we have sisters and brothers
Highlighting the unity among people from diverse backgrounds.
And when we meet in heaven we will recognize each other
Anticipating the recognition of one another in the afterlife with great joy and love.
With joy so deep and love so sweet
The reunion in heaven will bring immense joy and deep love.
Oh we'll celebrate these friends
Celebrating the enduring friendships and the eternal life ahead.
And a life that never ends
Referencing a life that transcends mortality.
In a prayer
A prayer that anticipates the eventual inclusion of all.
That will not be long before
Expressing hope that the time until everyone's inclusion won't be prolonged.
All will enter in
Envisioning everyone finding shelter and belonging within this circle of friends.
To the shelter of this circle of friends
Reiterating the hope that all will find refuge within this community.
That it will not be long before
Repeating the sentiment that inclusion will happen soon for all.
All will enter in
Reiterating the hope for everyone's inclusion in this supportive circle.
To the shelter of this circle of friends
Expressing the desire for everyone to find shelter within this community soon.
