For a Dancer

[Verse 1]

Keep a fire burning in your eyes

Pay attention to the open skies

You never know what will be coming down

I don't remember losing track of you

Always dancing in and out of view

I must've thought you'd always be around

Always keeping things real by playing the clown

Now you're nowhere to be found

[Chorus]

Into a dancer you have grown

From a seed somebody else has sown

Go on ahead and grow some seeds of your own

And somewhere between the time you arrive

And the time you go

May lie a reason you were alive

But you'll never know

[Verse 2]

I can't help feeling stupid standing 'round

Crying as they ease you down

'Cause I know that you'd rather we were dancing

Dancing our sorrow away

(Right on dancing)

No matter what fate chosen you to play

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

Always keeping things real by playing the clown

Now you're nowhere to be found

Keep a fire for the human race

Let your prayers go dancing into space

I never know what will be coming down

Go on and make a joyful sound

[Chorus]

Into a dancer you have grown

From a seed somebody else has sown

Go on ahead and grow some seeds of your own

And somewhere between the time you arrive

And the time you go

May lie a reason you were alive

But you'll never know

You'll never know
