lyrics

Dance, the dance goes on,
Dance through the night, dance to the dawn,
Through the daylight, when evening comes,
The dance goes on.

Dance, the dance goes on,
Dance of the Earth, the Moon and the Sun,
Winter and spring, summer, autumn,
The dance goes on.

For the dance that we dance is the dance of all life,
To which all existence can't help but be tied.
Through time and through space,
To be here right now, to be at this place.
And in time, the moment dissolves,
The dance spirals on, the cycle revolves.

And if it seems it's all gone wrong,
Just remember the dance goes on.
If you feel that you don't belong,
Just remember the dance goes on.
If you're fearful of what's to come,
Just remember the dance goes on...
