Keep a fire burning in your eye
Pay attention to the open sky
You never know when we'll be coming down
I dont remember losing track of you
You're always dancing in and out of view
I must have thought you'd always be around
Always keeping things real
By playing the clown
Now you're nowhere to be found
Dont know what happens when people die
Cant seem to grasp it as hard as I try
Its like a song i can hear playing right in my ear
That i cant sing
Cant help listening
Cant help feeling stupid standing round
Crying as they ease you down
Cause i know that youd rather we were dancing
Dancing our sorrows away
Right on dancing
Theres nothing you can do about it anyway
Just do the steps that youve been shown
By everyone youve ever known
Until the dance becomes your very own
No matter how close to yours
Anothers steps have grown
In the end, there is one dance youll do alone
Keep a fire for the human race
Let your prayers go drifting into space
Youll never know when we'll be coming down
Half a better world is drawing near
Just as easy it could all disappear
Along with whatever meaning you might have found
Dont let the uncertainty turn you around
Go on and make a joyful sound
Into a dancer you have grown
From a seed somebody else has thrown
Go on ahead and throw some seeds of your own
And somewhere between the time you arrive
And the time you go
May lie a reason you were alive
You'll never know
