Innocence Mission - Broken Circle lyrics

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 Well, 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
