Song of the Week: Peter Mayer's "One More Circle"

A wish for your new year. Here's "One More Circle" from Peter Mayer's Million Year Mind (iTunes):

We have been weighed down by sadness like a stone
And we have yearned, we have yearned
And we have sometimes felt so utterly alone
While we turn, while we turn

And we’ve been stricken by the wonder of it all
Stricken dumb, stricken dumb
And we have sometimes felt so faint we want to fall
Overcome--

But all in all
I’d say this year in flight together has been fun
What say we make one more circle around the sun?

We have raised our fists in anger and we’ve tried
To work it out, work it out
That we need each other, we cannot deny
There is no doubt, there is no doubt

So let us weave another dream in outer space
While we’re turning, while we’re turning
On this planet home that holds our human race
We still are learning--

But all in all
I’d say this year in flight together has fun
What say we make one more circle around the sun?

I’d say this year in flight together has been a good, good one
What say we make one more circle
One more circle
One more circle around the sun?
