about

If you're not dancing, you should be dancing...

lyrics

We've been through nasty weather
We've made it through the fog
Pulled on through together
The mire becoming dawn
The dawn becoming daylight
The mid-day sun the dusk
Stars returning in the twilight
One by one in trust

Light years away
The sky could change but we stay the same
Or something like it
Light years away

But from space, our planet is a marble
Lit by love and other human marvels

We've seen proliferation
Of hatred that won't win
They'll take unification
And claim the wage of sin
But you cannot stop progress
Any more than you can stop the tide
Love will wash their weapons
And change their misled minds

Light years away
Stars fade away
And leave us dancing in the darkness
Light years away

But in space their are a billion ports of call
And down here the moon is a mirror ball

And if you're not dancing you should be dancing
