"Make a Circle Like the Sun" is a song that encourages children to join hands with their neighbors and dance in a circle--the never-ending shape that, like friendship, love, joy and kindness, has no beginning and no end!

Lyrics

Make a circle like the sun

Holding hands everyone

Make a circle like the sun

Circle like the sun

 

Dance a circle like the moon

Round and round, sing this tune

Dance a circle like the moon

Circle like the moon

 

Make a circle filled with friends

Every circle has no end

Make a circle filled with friends

Circle filled with friends

 

Dance a circle ‘round the world

Each and every boy and girl

Dance a circle ‘round the world

Circle ‘round the world

 

Make a circle like the sun

Holding hands everyone

Make a circle like the sun

Circle like the sun
