Cycles
Words and Music by Brian Griffin (11-29-00)

We go from peace to war, to war to peace
Round and round and around we go
Can somebody break the cycle?
Question asked again and again
It’s all part of the cycle they say
The endless cycle of our lives

Love turns to hate, hate turns to love
until it turns on itself again
Can somebody break the cycle?
Take all the hate away?
Can somebody find a true love
That will forever stay?

They say that will defeat us
Take the fight out of our eyes
The fight to break the cycle
Will slowly fade and die
But
I’ve got to raise my voice
Keep asking why, when and how
I’ve got something to say sir
And I’m gonna say it now!

I say
We go from peace to war then peace to war-
Love to hate, hate to love to love to hate
Round and ‘round and round we go
Can somebody break the cycle?
Can somebody break the cycle?
It’s up to us to break the cycle
Got to go break the cycle
Don’t let them tell you you can’t break the cycle
Let peace and love forever stay-
Start to break the cycle today
