Duration: 5:2
Description:
BBC Old Grey Whistle Test 1976With David LindleyKeep a fire burning in your eyePay attention to the open skyYou never know what will be coming downI don't remember losing track of youYou were always dancing in and out of viewI must've thought you'd always be aroundAlways keeping things real by playing the clownNow you're nowhere to be foundI don't know what happens when people dieCan't seem to grasp it as hard as I tryIt's like a song I can hear playing right in my earThat I can't singI can't help listeningI can't help feeling stupid standing 'roundCrying as they ease you down(Alt:crying is the easier down)'Cause I know that you'd rather we were dancingDancing our sorrow away(Right on dancing)No matter what fate chooses to play(There's nothing you can do about it anyway)Just do the steps that you've been shownBy everyone you've ever knownUntil the dance becomes your very ownNo matter how close to yours another's steps have grownIn the end there is one dance you'll do aloneKeep a fire for the human raceLet your prayers go drifting into spaceYou never know what will be coming downPerhaps a better world is drawing nearAnd just as easily, it could all disappearAlong with whatever meaning you might have foundDon't let the uncertainty turn you around(The world keeps turning around and around)Go on and make a joyful soundInto a dancer you have grownFrom a seed somebody else has thrownGo on ahead and throw some seeds of your ownAnd somewhere between the time you arrive and the time you goMay lie a reason you were alive but you'll never know

Jan 27, 2012 - so simple, so true and so clear. This song has always been with me on my journey. It is at once sad, uplifting, spiritual and cleansing. He has lived his life as this song, contributing to so many causes and to me a hero and trumpeter of what mankind could be. Unheralded man of peace.
