Let It Be a Dance

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.
Everybody turn and spin.
Morning star comes out at night

Play the music, say the words,
Let your body learn to bend
Without the dark there is no light

And fill the sky with sailing birds
And like a willow with the wind
If nothing’s wrong then nothing’s right

let it be a dance. Let it be a dance. Let it be a dance.
let it be a dance. Let it be a dance. Let it be a dance.
let it be a dance. Let it be a dance. Let it be a dance.

Dance. Learn to follow, learn to lead
Dance. A child is born, and old must die
Dance. Let the sun shine, let it rain

Feel the rhythm, fill the need
A time for joy, a time to cry
Share the laughter, bear the pain

To reap the harvest, plant the seed
Take it as it passes by
And round and round we go again.

Let it be a dance.
Let it be a dance.
Let it be a dance.
