Some say...
The walls between us stand so tall
They don't see there's just one sun
Shining on us all
I say...
We each choose roads to call our own
That none of us is traveling through
This universe alone

And this circle
Just goes on and on
It began before us
It will be here when we're gone
And this circle
Just goes on and on
Someday we'll come to see
I'm joined to you
And you to me

Seasons...
Keep spinning on the wheel of time
We stand, we fall, we struggle up
The mountains we must climb
Different dreams...
May color what we see ahead
But all our lives are strung together
On a common thread

And this circle
Just goes on and on
It began before us
It will be here when we're gone
And this circle
Just goes on and on
Someday we'll come to see
I'm joined to you
And you to me

Around and round and round and round we go
Around and round we go

Laugh and learn and change and grow
Around and round and round we go

And this circle
Just goes on and on
It began before us
It will be here when we're gone
And this circle
Just goes on and on
Someday we'll come to see
I'm joined to you
And you to me

And this circle
Just goes on and on and on and on and on

Barbra Streisand is an Oscar-winning, Tony-winning, Emmy-winning, Golden Globe-winning Broadway legend, film star, movie director and one of the biggest-selling recording artists of all time - a staggering amount of accomplishments for someone whose mother insisted she not to go into show business.

By the time she was sixteen, she’d graduated high school and was living on her own in Manhattan. After winning a talent contest at a gay bar on West 9th Street, Streisand’s ‘spellbinding’ voice quickly became popular at New York clubs and in Broadway shows. After appearances on a number of popular television shows including The Tonight Show, Streisand signed with Columbia Records and released several top 10 albums in the 1960s, scoring two US top 40 hits with “People” and “Second Hand Rose”.

Her success as a recording artist continued through the 1970s with several more gold/platinum-certified albums and four US “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers”, “No More Tears”, the Oscar-winning “The Way We Were”, and the Academy Award-winning “Evergreen (Love Theme from A Star Is Born)”. The 1980s would begin with Streisand’s biggest-selling release of her career Guilty, a collaborative effort with BeeGees member Barry Gibb. It topped the albums chart in several countries and as did its lead single “Woman In Love”.
