The circles of love, touch one, touch all. The circles of love can answer the call. Circles of love. Like a never ending hug. The circles, are a gift from above. Take my hand in yours, together we will go. Side by side, we’ll find a way to make this family grow. The love you give will always return. The circle of love, it’s a love you have earned. Touch the heart of an angel, a gift that’s so rare. Be thankful. Be humble. That God put you there. The circles of love. Touch one, touch all. The circles of love. Can answer the call. The circles of love, a never ending hug The circles are a gift from above. Yes the circles…. Of love, Music and lyrics by your friend Kirb.
