Dance for Me, Dance in the Ocean
Music, 1978 • Lyrics, 1992
If you opened your heart to me
You would begin to weep
If you really let me touch you
You might touch what you seek
And you're looking
Looking for home
Waiting
Alone
If you looked into my eyes
And did not avoid my gaze
And let your body speak to you
You'd have to feel the pain
Inner voices
Tearing you down
Weak and unworthy
A clown
Sunrise
Today's a good day to be born
Sunrise
Move into your body, open the door
Sunrise
Dance for me, dance in the ocean
If you asked me to hold you
You'd have to face the fear
Can someone really love me
Hold my life so dear
Caught in depression
You can't see the divine
Within you
You're blind
If you took off your mask
And let the words flow from your heart
If you told me that you loved me
You're afraid your life would fall apart
Would I honor
The fragility
Of the moment your soul
Spoke to me?
Sunrise
Today's a good day to be born
Sunrise
Move into your body, open the door
Sunrise
Dance for me, dance in the ocean
Dance for me, dance in the ocean
Dance for me, dance in the ocean
Dance for me, dance in the ocean
