It's like a song I can hear playing right in my ear
Don't let the uncertainty turn you around
(Right on dancing)
By everyone you've ever known
(There's nothing you can do about it anyway)
Keep a fire for the human race
I must have thought you'd always be around
That I can't sing, I can't help listening
No matter how close to yours another's steps have grown
No matter what fate chooses to play
And I can't help feeling stupid standing 'round
And somewhere between the time you arrive and the time you go
Let your prayers go drifting into space
I don't know what happens when people die
You never know what will be coming down
Dancing our sorrow away
You were always dancing in and out of view
Into a dancer you have grown from a seed somebody else has thrown
Perhaps a better world is drawing near
Now you're nowhere to be found
Always keeping things real by playing the clown
Go on ahead and throw some seeds of your own
(The world keeps turning around and around)
Go on and make a joyful sound
You never know what will be coming down
Can't seem to grasp it as hard as I try
Along with whatever meaning you might have found
'Cause I know that you'd rather we were dancing
Just do the steps that you've been shown
In the end there is one dance you'll do alone
Until the dance becomes your very own
I don't remember losing track of you
Crying as they ease you down
And just as easily it could all disappear
