Circles Lyrics
This chapter is over
He's not coming home
Her heart in her throat
As she falls to the floor
She shuns every memory
Every letter and call
Just to get through each second
She is slowly shutting off
Where's her sweet revenge?
Who will she blame?
Where's her freedom now?
How can she reclaim it?
He wipes the sweat from her face
As she moans in pain
A tiny and helpless life
Comes as if to say
Here's your sweetest gift
Take this moment, it is safe
It's true, pure, and beautiful
In return for all your pain
Eyes wide, heart warm
She sees him in her face
If you watch the way the world gives back
In circles you will trace
He's not coming home
Her heart in her throat
As she falls to the floor
Every letter and call
Just to get through each second
She is slowly shutting off
Who will she blame?
Where's her freedom now?
How can she reclaim it?
As she moans in pain
A tiny and helpless life
Comes as if to say
Take this moment, it is safe
It's true, pure, and beautiful
In return for all your pain
She sees him in her face
If you watch the way the world gives back
In circles you will trace

NOTE: I know these lyrics are incomplete. I can't find them posted anywhere, so I did this all by ear, and anyone who listens to Natalie knows how hard it is to make out her words sometimes. I left any parts I couldn't make out blank, so that's why some lines may not make sense.
Natalie's voice is so hauntingly beautiful. This song is about the wife of a soldier at war. In the first stanza, she has just found out about his death. In the second stanza, it's describing how she reacts to it. She tries to shun all the memories out of her mind to stay strong, but she's failing fast.
Then the third, fourth, and fifth stanzas are about her giving birth to their child that she was pregnant with. The baby looks like her husband did. It's her sweetest gift, and it's a reminder to her that the world always gives back to you, even after insurmountable pain.
That is exactly what I thought too. I love Natalie Walker, she has a beautiful voice and I love the music.

This chapter is over He’s not coming home Her heart in her throat She falls to the floor
She shuns every memory Every letter and call Just to get through each second She is slowly shutting off
Where is her sweet revenge Who will she blame Where is her freedom now How can she reclaim it
He wipes the sweat from her face As she moans in pain A tiny and helpless life Comes as if to say
Here is your sweetest gift Take this moment it is safe Its true pure and beautiful In return for all of your pain
Eyes wide and heart warm She sees him in her face If you watch the way the world gives back In circles you will trace
"I was a little shook up by the song called Circles. I get that way whenever I feel the sadness of a loss coming about. It can be the loss of love or life or happiness; doesn’t matter. The song blatantly reminds you that just when you think life is going in the right direction it twains into directions you never anticipated. Natalie's lilting voice is well accompanied by a bluesy piano. Life does after all move in circles." -newagereporter.com
I totally agree with BritanySpears Sucks. Though i didn't think "A Tiny helpless life" was a baby. I didn't think that through, i thought maybe she was the tiny helpless life. or something. But now this makes sense. thanks!
i really dont listen to this type of music but this has to be one of the most beautiful songs that i have heard....
i also agree with brineyspears sucks in regards to the meaning and to his/her name :)
Such a sad and realistic song. I agree with britneyspears sucks meaning to the song.
