[Verse 1]

I could only sit still for one moment until

You realized what I was saying to you

Life is hard sometimes as you've realized

Picking up the broken pieces tonight

[Chorus]

A fool says in his own heart

"I'm giving up and there is no God."

All your life you've played that card in this

Circus, Circus

Life is hard and there will be pain

But nothing ventured is nothing gained

Never wanted to stay the same in this

Circus, Circus now

[Verse 2]

Broken wounded you lie captive to your fight

Letting hurt and sorrow dictate your life

Emptiness closes in crushing you within

Reaching up for light, now your cleansing begins

[Chorus]

A fool says in his own heart

"I'm giving up and there is no God."

All your life you've played that card in this

Circus, Circus

Life is hard and there will be pain

But nothing ventured is nothing gained

Never wanted to stay the same in this

Circus, Circus now

[Bridge]

Hush one minute peace be still as the carousel slows down

All this time your're searching, running, hiding from the One who'll make things right

Open up your eyes

[Chorus]

A fool says in his own heart

"I'm giving up and there is no God."

All your life you've played that card in this

Circus, Circus

Life is hard and there will be pain

But nothing ventured is nothing gained

Never wanted to stay the same in this

Circus, Circus now
