There is a ring around the world
It ensnares the little ones
As these priests and bishops fall
Innocence comes to an end
Born of woman, born through pain
In the shadow of a man
You are in me I am in you
It's not always easy to understand
Strange ways...
Forgive me father, I have sinned
God the father of all things
You are my everlasting shame
God works in strange ways
Strange ways...
There is a ring around the world
It ensnares the little ones
'Coz governments to fall
It brings all things to an end
Strange ways...
