CIRCLES Lyrics by Jelani Malik

2022

[Verse 1]
Every now and then
I sit and think back on the day
When I was a youngin'
Calling books but I ain't gotta spade
I was so caught up painting thoughts and dreams
That don't mean much to me
But I had to face reality
That wasn't the plan you had for me
So every night before I sleep
I thank the Lord for blessing me
Cause of the battles that I've seen
I been the only referee
Had to increase my patience
And release what's not meant for me
Had to believe in God
And know that I am finally free
[Chorus]
You know I been running running in circles
Trying to get it my way
I wasn't becoming loving myself
It's like I'm stuck on replay
But your love
Is so real
So pure
I stand still
You know I been running running in circles
Trying to do it my way
I wasn't becoming loving myself
It's like I'm stuck on replay
But your love
Is so real
So pure
I stand still
In faith cause
You know you
Keep blessing me
You keep testing me yeah
[Verse 2]
The five fingers that claim death
Tried to play me
Every step that I turned for resolution
End up fading
And the only thing that became clear
Is I was trying oh so hard
To fill some voids so real
But you took my hand
Slowed me down enough to see
The voids that need that filling
Start with G O D
Ain't no other thing
Got the upper hand on thee
Just keep pruning this branch
And eventually I'll see that
[Bridge]
Your love
Is so real
So pure
I stand still
Your love
Is so real
So pure
I stand still
[Chorus]
You know I been running running in circles
Trying to get it my way
I wasn't becoming loving myself
It's like I'm stuck on replay
But your love
Is so real
So pure
I stand still
You know I been running running in circles
Trying to do it my way
I wasn't becoming loving myself
It's like I'm stuck on replay
But your love
Is so real
So pure
I stand still
You know you
Keep blessing me
You keep testing me yeah
