Circle of Life | Andrew Kutt

SONG | EAGLE MEDICINE ALBUM

CIRCLES OF LIFE

Spring has come and gone again

I look back and remember when

The smell of lilacs thrilled my very soul

Now the days go by so fast

I try so hard to make them last

Keep the embers burning midst the darkened coals.

But when everything is very still

I hear the lonesome owl call

I realize that nothing has been lost

I’ve been scratched and I’ve been stung

By the brambles and the nettles but

Everything of value has a cost

Chorus:

Circles of life you return us to

Eternal spring and the blue moon

Driving west out to the mountains

Trying to see things with a new lense

Top down singing to the open road

Freedom is a fragile thing

It can take you far upon its wings

But can crush you if you take a heavy load

Chorus

The circumference of ourselves can be measured by

The radius of our heart times the infinite sky

I’ve been up and I’ve been down

I’ve circled this wide world around

Ended up right where I started from

Nothing that I’ve ever seenIs like the clover in this field of green

Where the honeybees just hum

Chorus
