circles - joshua luke smith lyrics

[intro]
(yeah, yeah)
these are some parting thoughts
before we go our separate ways
(yeah, yeah, yeah)

[verse 1]
oh i’ve been trying to make sense of it
with intellect and evidence
and all i’ve got is questions
can a h*ll*bound be heaven*sent?
is there meaning to the mess?
like a message in the bottle on the shores of our sentiment?
what do i say to the suffering?
all my words are buffering
tryna’ find the courage to say something that’s encouraging
when life is so unusual
i stood with a father at the funeral of his daughter
he said the evening sky was beautiful

[pre*chorus]
how can it be?
we can still see the colours through the struggle and the grief
and believe
though it all falls down, one day it will be redeemed
the mystery
to know that everything we’ve been through
one day will be weaved into
a tapestry that tells the tale of how we became free
and a grave that’s for our worth for all the goodness we received
[chorus]
i was tryna’ find some way out
of the loss and all the pain and doubt (yeah, yeah)
i’ve been drawing circles round and round
now i know the whole thing’s holy ground
(holy)

[verse 2]
may this be my great awakening
when i came to see that all the great things were hidden in daily simplicity
and there was no where better on this whole earth to be
than in the sp*ce with the person i was purposed to be
vanity, vanity, vanity
we’re not our profile, our lifestyle, our salary
our religion, or our creed, or our tribe, or our needs
but the essence of eternity that’s buried deep beneath
are we blinded by the lights of our own stardom
timelines and violence, or the immortal diamonds?
shining in the darkness of our souls, will we find them in our kindness
may we be restored and reminded
i know you’re living on a knife’s edge
but dawn is surely coming at the night’s end
so darling, don’t you dare let your life end
cause i swear we gon’ be here till the fight ends (ugh!)

[pre*chorus]
how can it be?
we can still see the colours through the struggle and the grief
and believe
though it all falls down, one day it will be redeemed
the mystery
to know that everything we’ve been through
one day will be weaved into
a tapestry that tells the tale of how we became free
and a grave that’s for our worth for all the goodness we received
come on!
[chorus]
i was tryna’ find some way out
of the loss and all the pain and doubt (yeah, yeah)
i’ve been drawing circles round and round
now i know the whole thing’s holy ground
(one more time)

i was tryna’ find some way out
of the loss and all the pain and doubt (yeah, yeah)
i’ve been drawing circles round and round
now i know the whole thing’s holy ground
(holy)

[outro: rob bell]
“may you get really, really good at drawing circles
may you in those moments when that wonderful steel trap of an intellect is over*heeding because it can’t figure out where to put this, may you hear that still small voice whisper “neither” or “no”
but look down, cause you’re on holy ground
and may you in those moments, when things are so disorienting, frustrating, and throwing you in the complete upheaval, may you find yourself repeating “kadosh, kadosh, kadosh”, and may grace and peace be with you every step of the way.”
