Circle of Earth ŠJ. Stein

We are all in a small circle of the earth
A small circle of earth
We rise and fall together in it all
In a small circle of earth

Rain brings water and waters run
Sparking river to the blue ocean
Where all flow as one
Shining sea beneath the sun
By the well or the bottle, the sparking stream
We are all drinking the same
Oh, waters of the circle of of earth

In the center of the circle trees grow high
Deep in the ground up to the sky
Holding the flood at bay
Keeping the soil from blowing away
Cleansing the air for the great and small
Shade and shelter to one and all
Oh, trees of the circle of of earth

Family of man has started to expand
Using up water, trees and land
Too many people pull a circle down,
Balance is tipping all around
Smaller family set it right
Give a child a piece of paradise
Oh, children of the circle of of earth

Getting stronger, growing longer
A chain of hand in hand
Binding all together a family of man
One fine shining day
A rainbow time gonna come
When every color and every tribe
Gonna live together as one
Oh, gonna live together as one

Cause we're all in a small circle of the earth
A small circle of earth
We rise and fall together in it all
In a small circle of earth
Circle of the Earth
