Bend This Circle

He said I don’t have to justify this ain’t what it seems
You would run a million miles
If you’d seen what I'd seen every night around this time, lord you could hear the screams

of a love gone bad and a man gone mad oh and a child, oh and a child
oh and a child who’d lost her dreams

If we can bend this circle to the ground yeah bend this circle break t down
we’re gonna to' bend this circle break this chain and breathe new life into the light of day

These walls are marked with teardrops residue of pain
souls decay and wither here
even angels fade

lost inside the darkness
marred by his disdain
to weak to move on out of here
you know it holds you,
you know it holds you know it holds you as it’s slave

If we can bend this circle to the ground yeah bend this circle break it down
we’re gonna bend this circle break this chain and breathe new life into the light of day

How much more could one endure
how much more to take
when all you have known from birth to now is all you've had to face

If we can bend this circle to the ground oh bend this circle lord we gotta break it down breathe new life into the light of day ay ay ay we gotta break it down own

breathe new life into the light of day ay ay hay we gonna bend this circle
we gonna break it down
we gonna bend this circle

we gonna break down yeah we gonna bend this circle
we gonna bend this circle
lord we gonna bend this circle bend this circle

break it down
