Ian Tyson Lyrics
"The Circle Is Through"

A high soaring hawk, the dark ackward crow
a white gull alone on the high rolling sea.
They must make their way home, best way that they know.
Its no different for you and for me.

May they stay where the river runs through ,
the range and the sky, buckskin and blue.
May they ride to the end on the wings of the wind
til they're home and their circle is through.

[instrumental]

May the children read, may they understand
is all true value, so the truth may be known
glory of God and dark side of man.
For one day they must ride on alone.

[instrumental]

May they stay where the river runs through ,
the range and the sky, buckskin and blue.
May they ride to the end on the wings of the wind
til they're home and their circle is through.

[instrumental]

May the river flow, may the samon run
may your nights be crowned, with a mantle of stars.
May your pony stay sound for the work to be done.
He'll get you home with your dreams and your scares.

May you stay where the river runs through ,
the range and the sky, buckskin and blue
May you ride to the end on the wings of the wind
til you're home and your circle is through.
