"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!
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
