Mana - Spiritual Power

Circles come full circle come
Back to where they started from
The nature of the circle brings
A sure return of everything

From the darkness of the valley
We cannot see the swift sun rise
Against the exulting mountains
In the wide forever skies

But circles come full circle come
Back to where they started from
Blessed with the sacrament of time
We can once again begin to climb

From the darkness we thought eternal
We will lift our heads and see
Life’s light break like a blessing
Where the mountain air blows free

And circles come full circle come
Back to where they started from
Though it seems at times we’re trapped
And all our light’s been drained and sapped

I have walked the depth of the valley
I have drowned in the rain of my tears
I have felt that the shadows had swallowed
What was left of the tale of my years

But circles come full circle come
Back to where they started from
The hourglass poured it’s sacred sands
And Time brought healing in her hands


Bless you in the space you wait
Where it seems the sun has never shone
And if it helps in any way
Know that you are not alone

Circles come full circle come
Back to where they started from
May Time bring healing to your heart
And may all darkness soon depart

May your eyes lift from the shadows
To the heights where eagles soar
May you find light like a blessing
Washing over you once more
