Will the Circle Be Unbroken? Lyrics

Will the circle be unbroken?

As you spread your wings and soar

Through the heavens ever open

Will you find what you're searching for?

Out in the vastness of the sky

Will the stars sing out your name?

Do the clouds like whispers sigh

As you play this cosmic game?

Will the circle be unbroken?

How shall we reach you when you fly?

And the wings that bear you up can they hold you

Or will they crumple and fold when on high?

Gladiators hit men and heroes we knew

Those narrow streets couldn't hold us long

Destiny beckoned us all together

Or so we thought till you proved it wrong

In the silence of the night do you hear our cries below?

As you bask in newfound glory will you still feel the love we show?

And the wings that hold you up can they bear you?

As the weight of all that fame starts to grow

Let our circle be unbroken

As you journey far and wide

Do you think you'll still see us

From your perch in the Tower of Song?

Gaze down on your old footsoldiers

Obscured by a billion strong

There will be times when you feel lonely

Up on that peak and in your own precious cloud; maybe

You'll remember the little place we all came from

But up there with the stars you'll never say it out loud

So in the silence of the night do you hear our cries below?

As you bask in newfound glory will you still feel the love we show?

And the wings that hold you up can they bear you?

As the weight of all that fame starts to grow

Let our circle be unbroken

As you journey far and wide

May the love that's gone unspoken

Guide you with each stride

And from those who brought you here

Don't go forgetting

We all shared the same dreams and fears

And we all shared the same hopes and tears
