The Circle Comes Around Again

By Frank Meyer

Instrumental

Verse 1

You see the circle’s come around again; soon you’ll all be gone

I’ll be in this empty room just sittin’ all alone

Thinkin’ ‘bout the good times and the times that made me blue

Wonderin’ if I passed the test and did my best for you.

Verse 2

You know so much of what we do here is defined by F’s and A’s

If it were left up to me, well, I’d throw them all away

‘Cause all I ever find is what you can and cannot do

Much of what is lost is just the simple truth of you.

Verse 3

You see I’m the kind of guy who doesn’t put much stock in things

Happiness and love for you are all I have to bring

And I don’t know the answers, but I do know that I care

The simple things I’ve come to know are all that I can share.

Verse 4

So, when you’re strugglin’ out there, you just listen to your soul

If you listen carefully, well, then, you will reach your goals

‘Cause all the world is out there tellin’ you just what to do

Much of what it has to say will not be true for you.

Verse 5

And as you reach each goal you will improve your self-esteem

Goal leads onto goal until you have fulfilled your dreams

One who has fulfilled his dreams has reached true happiness

He can show the rest this simple secret to success.

Instrumental

Verse 6

So, listen to your soul ‘cause it’s the one who’ll set you free

Like a compass it will take you just where you want to be

And if all of you out there find out just what you want to do

This ol’ boy up here will know he’s done his best for you.

Repeat Verse 1
