Keep the fire burning in your eyes   Pay attention to the open sky   You'll never know what will be coming down      I don't remember losing track of you   You're always dancing in and out of view   I must have thought you would 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   Can't seem to grasp it as hard as I try   It's like a song I can hear playing right in my ear   But I can't sing, I can't help listening      I can't help feeling stupid standing around   Crying is the easier down   'Cause I know that you would rather we'd be dancing      Dancing our sorrow away   No matter what fate throws in your way   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   Let your prayers go drifting into space   You'll never know what will be coming down      Perhaps a better world is drawing near   Just as easy 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   The time you go may lie a reason you were alive   But you'll never know
