For a Dancer

Keep a fire burnin' in your eyes pay attention to the open skies

You never know what will he comin' down

I don t remember losing track of you

You were always dancin' in and out of view

I must have thought you would always be around

Always keeping things real by playin' the clown now you're nowhere to be found

I don't know what happens when people die

Can't seem to grasp it as hard as I try

It's like a song I can hear playing right in my ear

But I can't sing I can't help listening

I can't help feeling stupid standing around crying is the easier down

Cause I know that you would rather we'd be dancing

Dancing our sorrow away no matter what fate throws in your way

Just do the steps that you've been shown by everyone you've ever known

Until the dance becomes your very own

No matter how close to yours another's steps have grown

In the end there is one dance you'll do alone

[ guitar ]

Keep a fire for the human race let your prayers go drifting into space

You never know what will he coming down

Perhaps a better world is drawing near just as easy it could all disappear

Along with whatever meaning you might have found

Don't let the uncertainty turn you around go on and I 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 but you'll never know
