26 Mar Wider Circles
A fabulous song of community and connection that works great with drums, guitar and any instruments on hand. The guitar chords are extremely simple (A & E), the melody is easy to learn and words are inspiring. The chorus is an easy, joyful singalong that makes for a great concert or song circle closer.

Lyrics
Chorus:
We are moving in wider circles
We are opening our circle
We are moving in wider circles
We are opening our circle
We are opening our circle
(x2)
SOLO: Oh be a compass, I’ll be your lighthouse
Speak your words with triumph, I will watch your mouth
SOLO: I’ll march with you my sister to your place of fearing
We’ll dive into those waters, swim into the clearing
Chorus x2
SOLO: Oh be a pillar, I’ll be your mockingbird
We’ll sing the rock of ages, yes we will be heard
SOLO: I’ll march with you my brother to the mountaintop
We’ll hold back the dynamite, make the rumble stop
Everyone: Make the rumble stop
Chorus x2
We’ll always keep our heads up, we’ll always sing along
We’ll walk the path of kindness, know where we belong
Let’s form a great salvation through harmony and sound
We’ll know the shape of progress – like nature, it’s always round
Like nature, it’s always round
Chorus x2
