Dancing with the Lion - Andreas Vollenweider

Once upon a time not so long ago in a land not so far away

Right and wrong were not quite so hard to know

And black and white were not so gray

Times have changed and now it seems

Conscience has gone the way of the dinosaur

But I believe it’s still alive and well today

In the hearts of those who will stand up and say

CHORUS

I’m dancing with the dinosaur

Living my life with conscience and conviction

I don’t want to see the truth ignored

So I’ve gotta keep on dancing

I’ve gotta keep on dancing with the dinosaur

There’s a banner waving saying tolerance will set you free, it’s the latest

thing

While the consequences it leaves behind are like a ball and chain

But there’s a voice in everyone called conscience

That’s been around since God created man

And as we learn to listen to its whispering

We’ll find the greater freedom when we stand up and sing

(Chorus)

BRIDGE

Right is right and wrong is wrong just like it has been along

We cannot sit by and see conscience become history

So come on, get up and dance

Dance this dance with me

(Gonna keep on dancing, gonna keep on dancing with the dinosaur

Gonna keep on dancing, gonna keep on dancing with the dinosaur)

(Chorus)

(Outro)

(Gonna keep on dancing, gonna keep on dancing with the dinosaur

Gonna keep on dancing, gonna keep on dancing with the dinosaur)
