Broken Circle Lyrics - 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
