(In the beginning there was nothing)
(But when the universe was made, it was made in circles and cycles)
(And the supreme being put man and beasts and other living things upon the earth, in the sky, and in the water to live in circles and cycles)
(And all things complied with a mighty plan)
(The seasons, the planets and life itself)
(And the circle should not be broken, it all goes round in a circle)

It all goes round in a circle
It all goes round like a great big wheel
The wheel just keeps on turning
Like the planets around the sun

Back to square one
Back to square one

In the beginning there was nothing
Till the universe was made
And life went round like a season from the cradle to the grave

Though the winter life is death-like
There's a seed beneath the ice
And the seed begins to waken
With the spring that brings it life

And it all goes round in a circle
It all goes round like a great big wheel
And the wheel just keeps on turning
Like the planets around the sun

Back to square one
Back to square one

On the path they call distraction
Desecration of the land
The seed of life will wither
And be lost in an arid sand

And the wheel will stop revolving
We'll rust and cease to run
In the end there will be nothing
Like the void when time begun

And it all goes round in a circle
It all goes round like a great big wheel
And the wheel just keeps on turning
Like the planets around the sun

Back to square one
Back to square one
