Broken Circle Songtext
von The Innocence Mission

What can we do as a family?
What plan can we devise
That accommodates everyone′s schedule
And still survives?

At the alter of progress
The family is sacrificed
Is wishing there was another way
To pay the price

Ashes, ashes, we all fall down
No one wants a broken circle
Get up off of the ground

Family, family, center of our lives
Broken circle, heal thyself
Hands together, bind


There is a painting on our wall
I've loved it all these years
Without knowing the reason
And now it′s clear

A happy company of people
Going out to a ball
Mother, brother, father, sisters all

Ashes, ashes, we all fall down
No one wants a broken circle
Can you get up off of the ground?

Family, family, center of our lives
Broken circle, heal thyself
Hands together, bind

Ashes, ashes, we all fall down
No one wants a broken circle
Can you get up off of the ground?

Family, family, center of our lives
Broken circle, heal thyself
Hands together, bind
