Dancer’s Song, The (Lyrics)

The Dancer’s Song

Verse 1

Suffering sits upon the throne
Of this world that weeps;
Thieves are busy in the marketplace
While good men seem to sleep.

Yet they say the way to happiness
Is across a sea of tears;
Water washes you clean and pure
And swallows all your fears.

Chorus

Dancer dance your dance
And singer sing your song;
Play for me the dancing song
And I will dance along.

Instrumental

Verse 2

Now in this dark and foreign land
So far from our true home;
Can it be but a play of shadows
Our lives a forgotten poem?

Yet love is a light so sweet and strong
That lights the darkest night;
With the eyes of love is love revealed
Is clear unto your sight.

Chorus
Instrumental

Bridge

I got a bird that whistles
I got a bird that sings;
I got a bird that takes me
Way up on its wing.

Verse 3

Now strong men weep when pride is hurt
Lamentations fall like rain;
Yet flowers fall from heaven above
When our soul cries out in pain.

We see ourselves in God’s sweet play
On a stage we’ve never known;
As we walk the path of righteousness
To make His will our own.

Chorus
