Standing safe upon the shore the wind is calm the sea like glass As if the waters just before had not split wide to let us pass As we walked on the muddy ocean floor When the waters closed on those pursuing us I felt relief But they had wives and children too more innocents condemned to grief Victims too of a strange and foolish war The suddenly I understand Why we left the narrow place behind Why we journeyed to a desert land And what it is that we must find To be free Free to laugh, Free to cry Free to fail, but to try Free to love, Take a chance Free to dance Gotta dance, gotta dance Gotta twirl and let my hair fly free And dance to the song that is filling my soul Gotta dance to the beat To the never ending melody And dance to the song that is making me whole Tambourine in my hand I am feeling so enlightened I might rise from the earth, I might float like a cloud This must be holy land I'm not cowering or frightened And the joy of rebirth has me laughing aloud With my feet on the earth I can reach right up and touch the sky In praise for the One who has parted the sea Dance for joy at the birth Of a people given meaning by The chance to be strong and the chance to be free Fifty years from now, perhaps This day will be a memory That fades into an unremembered past Yet I think in times to come Our story will be history The basis of a nation, rich and vast As a slave, like a child I was forced to do what others said Not free to decide what I wanted to do Now I'm free to be wise To be kind or to be cruel instead No way can I hide my decisions from view Now I see, to be free I must take responsibility The price I must pay to no longer be a slave Now the limits on me Are my choices and ability And the will to be strong and the will to be brave In this desert where we stand I feel a sense of urgency To understand where I am meant to go Will I wander in the sand Or find the path that's right for me And if I find it will I really know Gotta dance for today Gotta dance for tomorrow Gotta dance for the stars, gotta dance for the sun Gotta dance for the joy Gotta dance for the sorrow Gotta dance for the all. Gotta dance for the One Gotta dance, gotta dance Gotta twirl and let my hair fly free And dance to the song that is filling my soul Gotta dance to the beat To the never ending melody And dance to the song that is making me whole Gotta dance, gotta dance, gotta dance
