Circle in the sand

Circle in the sand

I drew a circle in the sand

Around my little band

Incase the circle needs to be remeasured

It can be done easily with a simple jester

Without stress or mishap

Quickly and without remorse

Ask yourself are you in or out

You know on which side you stand--in or out

I drew a circle in the sand

I drew it with a dependable stick

One I can lend on if I'm alone, I use that same stick 

There are moments I see no one for miles

That is absolutely fine

As I walk with my stick and my peeps

I still feel the warmth underneath my feet

Knowing the Lord is near me

He brought about each of you 

My lttle circle is still around as a protective barrier

My little band is made of rubber 

Come for me 

You might find yourself bounced into history

I drew a circle in the sand

Around my little band

They are my day ones

And no it was never easy

We cried together

We have laughed together

We have had each other backs

When they talked about we

We protected one another

We listened even when nothing made sense

We say real recognized the real

And we are real enough

And that is what matter most

We may not be around every moment

Then is when we use our drawing sticking

We never allow place holders in our absence

They confuse things and mess up the rhythm

Imposters not wanted

The band is not looking for replacements

Next!
