Bruce Cockburn - Everywhere Dance lyrics

Moon of plenty, moon of mischance It'll be what you want but you can't stop the dance Try to count the steps and they change while you stare And the translucent moon floats in waves of blue air And we cry out for grace to lay truth bare The dance is the truth and it's everywhere Pas de deux in stark silhouette pulsing against a clear orange sunset As the distance shifts from skin unto skin Look at how bodies shape the spaces they're in See the limbs slide smooth through unresisting air The dance is the truth and it's everywhere In grains of sand and Galaxies In plasma flow and rain in trees In the sepia swell of silted-up surf In the ebb and the flow of dying and birth In wounded streets and whispered prayer The dance is the truth and it's everywhere
