Story Behind the Song
I truly believe we are all connected... there isn't a single living thing that doesn't have importance and purpose and we are all more alike than we know dispite our outer appearances. The homeless person on the street, The single mother who may choose to sell her body (and soul) for money, the african american man who struggles against a stereotype to get ahead, the many people who imigrate to a new country leaving everything they've known behind and all of the sick and abandoned people, all of them, in some way are connected to us. We all want and need the same things and we're part of this "Circle" a never ending sphere where what we do and don't do affects one another. This song is about unity, about connection and about how we create this world we live in.
Lyrics
THE CIRCLE
Written & produced by Leila & Funkeeboy (c) 2002

(Verse)
There’s a child
with a soul and a heart so pure
untouched by the hate of a world
he will come to know
and he belongs to us
he’ll grow up as one of us
(Chorus)
Living in the circle
living in the world that we’ve conceived
bonded to the circle
shaped by the opinions he believed
(Verse)
And there’s a man
without hope, dying all alone
untouched by the love of a world
that he thought he’d known
and he belongs to us
reaching out to each of us
(Chorus 2 & 3)
Living in the circle
living in the world that we’ve conceived
bonded to the circle
victim of the image we perceived
Living in the circle
living in the world that we’ve conceived
bonded to the circle
we are jailed by what we won’t concede
(Bridge)
We’re intertwined
we are part of a plan and we’re joined together man, woman, child, every heart soul and mind shares this world, space and time
(Repeat Chorus 3)
