Pay attention to the open sky You never know what will be coming down
I don't remember losing track of you
You were always dancing in and out of view
I must have thought you'd always be around
Always keeping things real by playing the clown
Now you're nowhere to be found
I don't know what happens when people die
I can't seem to grasp it as hard as I try
It's like a song I can hear playing right in my ear
That I can't sing,
I can't help listening
And I can't help feeling stupid standing around
Crying is the easiest down
Cause I know that you'd rather we were dancing
Dancing our sorrow away
Right on dancing
There's nothing you can do about it anyway
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
Keep a fire for the human race
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
Don't let the uncertainty turn you around Go on and 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 the reason you were alive But you'll never know
