Little children like to form a circle
Tightly holding hands with all their friends
An imaginary line around them,
Keeping out the ones who are not in
But standing on the edge is not the same
And those who watch can never win the game
Are you on the outside ( 3x )
Come on in ( 3x )
There's a family that has formed a circle
Though its tightly arms are open wide
But there is a line you must cross over
If you really want to come inside
But standing on the edge is not the same
And those who watch can never share the name
Are you on the outside (Come on in ) ( 3x )
Come on in ( 3x )
The line becomes a wall
When you stading behind it
But grace can make the door
If you choose to find it
Are you on the outside (Come on in ) ( 3x )
Come on in ( 3x )
