-----
Will the circle be unbroken by and by, Lord, by and by?
There's a better home a-waiting if we try, Lord, if we try.
I was singing with my sisters (and my brothers)
I was singing with my friends
And we all can sing together,
'Cause the circle never ends.
I was born down in the valley
Where the sun refuse' to shine
But I'm climbing up to the highland
Gonna make that mountain mine
-Cathy Winter, Betsy Rose, and Marcia Taylor
