       To the tune of Simple Gifts & Lord of the Dance



       In the passing of the day,

       and the death of the sun,

       I plant a seed

       in the rhythm of the drum.

       And I have you all

       in a circle you see,

       To spark your sprit

       through the dance with me.



       [Chorus]

       Dance! Drum! wherever you may be!

       Feed your heart through the dance with me!

       The beat grows strong,

       as ever it will be,

       and spark your spirit

       through the dance with me!



       As we shake the ground,

       and flames touch the sky,

       we cleanse ourselves

       in the smoke that lingers by.

       The dance is danced

       by river, stone, and tree

       So spark your spirit

       through the dance with me.



       [Chorus]



       We'll dance in the morning

       when the day has begun,

       as we danced with the moon

       the stars and the sun.

       Born of Spirit,

       and of the Earth,

       these dew kissed prayers

       of the sun's rebirth.



       [Chorus]
