|
On the bank of the |
|
Tennessee river in a small |
|
Kentucky town |
|
I drew my first breath one cold |
|
November morning |
|
And before my feet even touched the ground |
|
With the doctors and the nurses gathered 'round |
|
I started to dance, yeah, |
|
I started to dance |
|
A little boy full of wide-eyed wonder, footloose and fancy free |
|
But it would happen, as it does for every dancer |
|
That I'd stumble on a truth |
|
I couldn't see |
|
And find a longing deep inside of me, it said"I am the heart, I need the heartbeatI am the eyes, I need the sightI realize that I am just a body, I need the life""I move my feet, I go through the motionsBut who'll give purpose to chanceI am the dancer, I need the lord of the dance, yeah" |
|
The world beneath us spins in circles |
|
And this life makes us twist and turn and sway |
|
But we were made for more than rhythm with no reason |
|
By the one who moves with passion and with grace |
|
As he dances over all that he has made |
|
I am the heart, he is the heartbeat |
|
I am the eyes, he is the sight |
|
And I see clearly, |
|
I am just a body, he is the life |
|
I move my feet, |
|
I go through the motions |
|
But he gives purpose to chance |
|
I am the dancer, he is the lord of the dance |
|
Lord of the dance, lord of the dance, yeah |
|
And while the music of his love and mercy plays |
|
I will fall down on my knees and |
|
I will pray |
|
I am the heart, you are the heartbeat |
|
I am the eyes, you are the sight |
|
And I see clearly, |
|
I am just a body, you are the life |
|
I move my feet, |
|
I go through the motions |
|
But you give purpose to chance |
|
I am the dancer, you are the lord of the dance |
|
I am the heart, you are the heartbeat |
|
I am the eyes and you are the sight |
|
And I see clearly, |
|
I am just a body, you are the life |
|
I move my feet, |
|
I go through the motions |
|
But you give purpose to chance |
|
I am the dancer, you are the lord of the dance |
|
I am the dancer, you are the lord of the dance, yeah |
|
I am the dancer, lord of the dance |
