LET IT BE A DANCE
© Ric Masten
Let it be a dance we do
May I have this dance with you
Through the good times
And the bad times too
Let it be a dance
Let a dancing song be heard
Play the music, say the words
And fill the sky with sailing birds
And let it be a dance
Learn to follow learn to lead
Feel the rhythm, fill the need
To reap the harvest plant the seed
And let it be a dance…
Everybody turn and spin
Let your body learn to bend
And like a willow with the wind
Let it be a dance
A child is born the old must die
A time for joy a time to cry
So take it as it passes by
And let it be a dance…
The morning star comes out at night
Without the dark there is no light
And if nothing’s wrong then nothing’s right
So let it be a dance
Let the sun shine, let it rain.
Share the laughter, bare the pain
And round and round we go again
So let it be a dance…
