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