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  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 heartbeat  I am the eyes, I need the sight  I realize that I am just a body  I need the life  I move my feet I go through the motions  But who'll give purpose to chance  I am the dancer  I need the Lord of the dance  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  And while the music of His love and mercy play  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 dancer  You are the Lord of the dance
