Keeping the Dream

Today is my sister’s birthday. She would have been forty-six. Happy birthday, my sweet Vernice.

A couple days ago, I received word that a dear friend of mine passed away last Friday. Gary and I used to have the *best* metaphysical discussions.

Today, I dedicate this song to them.

DANCING

Dancing, dance with me
Dancing, dance with me

Dancing on the night beach
Dancing with the stars
Dancing with the magic
Anywhere you are
Dancing on the hilltop
Dancing all alone
Dancing with your lover
Among the standing stones

Dancing, dance with me
Dancing, dance with me

Dancing on the water
Dancing in a dream
Dancing to your passion
Everywhere you see
Dancing in the heavens
Dancing what you feel
Dancing to the love
The only thing that’s real

Dancing, dance with me
Dancing, dance with me

Come Home - Dancing
Come Home - Dancing

Dancing for the moment
Dancing for all time
Dancing I will find you
The love I have inside
Dancing in the twilight
Dancing on the air
Dancing to the vision
That calls me everywhere

Dancing in the morning
Dancing in the sun
Dancing in the moonlight
When this life is done
Dancing on the journey
Dancing with your friends
Dancing to the heartbeat
Of love that never ends

Come Home - Dancing
Come Home - Dancing

Dancing on the night beach
Dancing with the stars
Dancing with the magic
Anywhere you are
Dancing on the hilltop
Dancing all alone
Dancing with your lover
Among the Standing Stones

Dancing, dance with me
Dancing, dance with me

Come Home
Come Home
Come Home
Come Home

Dear Lord, please use me to bring beauty into this world.
