Circle Around the Sun

(copyright Peter Mayer, I believe)

We have been weighed down by sadness like a stone.
We have yearned, we have yearned.
We have sometimes felt so utterly alone — while we turn, while we turn.
We’ve been stricken by the wonder of it all — stricken down; stricken down.
We have sometimes felt so faint we want to fall — overcome, but all along

I’d say this year in flight together has been fun;
What say we make one more circle around the sun?

We have raised our fists in anger and we tried to work it out, work it out.
That we need each other we cannot deny — is no doubt, is no doubt.
Let us weave another dream in outer space while we’re turning, while we’re turning.
On this planet home that holds our human race still are learning all along.

Say this year in flight together has been fun;
What say we make one more circle around the sun?

Say this year in flight together has been a good good one.
What say we make one more circle, one more circle, one more circle around the sun?

Around the sun…
