C                     F

Keep a fire burning in your eye

C                      F

Pay attention to the open sky

C                     F                    C    G

You never know what will be coming down

C                         F

I don't remember losing track of you

C                                F

You were always dancing in and out of view

C                         F                 C    G

I must've thought you'd always be around

Am                      F                         C

Always keeping things real by playing the clown

G

Now you're nowhere to be found

C   F   C   G

C                                F

I don't know what happens when people die

C                                F

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

(F)           C                       F

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

C                     G

That I can't sing  -  I can't help listening

C                                 F

And I can't help feeling stupid standing 'round

C                F

Crying as they ease you down

C                          F                      C

'Cause I know that you'd rather we were dancing

G                         Am

Dancing our sorrow away

F

Right on dancing

C                   G

No matter what fate chooses to play

C

There's nothing you can do about it anyway

F                 C

Just do the steps that you've been shown

F               C            G

By everyone you've ever known

Am                     C7

Until the dance becomes your very own

F               G

No matter how close to yours

Am                            F

Another's steps have grown

C                G

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

C   F   C   G

Keep a fire for the human race Let your prayers go drifting into space You never know what will be coming down Perhaps a better world is drawing near And just as easily it could all disappear Along with whatever meaning you might have found

Am              F                    C

Don't let the uncertainty turn you around

The world keeps turning around and around

G                          C

Go on and make a joyful sound

F           C

Into a dancer you have grown

F             C               G

From a seed somebody else has thrown

Am                     C7                      F

Go on ahead and throw some seeds of your own

F                      G                    Am

And somewhere between the time you arrive

F

And the time you go

C                     G

May lie the reason you were alive

But you'll never know
