about

Written to the tune of the Negro spiritual "Wade in the Water," this song's refrain is an irresistable call to join together in a circle of inclusion. A great way to gather people for singing and sharing. The counter melody provides the main message: In a circle, were equal; no one is left out. And we strengthen our ties when we can all see each other and value our togetherness in the circle.

lyrics

Come join the circle. Come join the circle, children. Come join the circle; Come and join us in the circle!

Counter melody:
In a circle we're equal. No one is left out. We all can see each other's eyes. A circle is powerful; It's unbroken. It helps to strengthen all our ties.
