"For A Dancer": Life Lessons In Jackson Browne's Lyrics

[00:00:12] Keep a fire burning in your eyes. [00:00:18] Pay attention to the open skies. [00:00:23] You never know what will be coming down. [00:00:35] I don't remember losing track of you. [00:00:41] You were always dancing in and out of you. [00:00:47] I must have always thought you'd be around. [00:00:59] Always keeping things real by playing the fl. Wow. [00:01:06] Now you know where to be found. [00:01:21] I don't know what happens when people die. [00:01:27] Can't seem to grasp it as hard as I try. [00:01:32] It's like a song I can hear playing right in my ear that I can't sing. [00:01:40] I can't help listening. [00:01:44] I can't help feeling stupid. Standing around crying as they sit you down. [00:01:56] Cuz I know that you'd rather we were dancing. [00:02:04] Dancing our sorrows away. [00:02:12] Right on dancing. [00:02:19] Just do the steps that you've been shown. [00:02:24] By everyone you ever know. [00:02:34] Until dance becomes your very. [00:02:40] No matter how close to yours your other steps have grown. [00:02:53] In the end there is one dance you do alone. [00:03:12] Keep a fire for the human race. [00:03:17] Let your prayers go drifting out into space. [00:03:23] You never know what will be coming down. [00:03:35] Perhaps a better world is drawing near. [00:03:41] Just as easy could all disappear. [00:03:47] Along with whatever meaning might have found. [00:03:59] Don't let the uncertainty turn you around. [00:04:06] Go out and make a joyful sound. [00:04:12] Into a dancer where you have grown. [00:04:18] Go see somebody else's song. [00:04:27] Go on ahead and throw some seeds of your own in somewhere between the time you arrive and the time you go. [00:04:49] Maybe a reason you were alive. [00:04:54] You never know.
