lyrics

Used to be he was always around
He's a boy In a circle now
He came to life when he came to town
But he's a boy in a circle now
He's a boy In a circle

His world was bigger,
full of open spaces.
Now he sees figures
where he once saw faces
He sees levels and
he moves among them.
He'd never drop names but
now you can't stop him.

Used to be he was always around
He's a boy in a circle now
He came to life when he came to town
But he's a boy in a circle now
He's a boy In a circle

We'd walk the street at nIght
smiling and waving.
He had a smile sometimes
so warm and engaging.
So warm and welcoming
new friends at each stop.
Now if you're not in
he won't look up.

The world is ours still
and he's still in it.
But what he thinks is done
is just beginning.
What he calls qualifiers
I call fear.
He's trapped by small desires
while I'm out here!
We're all out here.

Used to be he was always around
He's a boy in a circle now
He came to life when he came to town
But he's a boy in a circle now
He's a boy in a circle
