I thought her crazy the old lady on her porch
Told me “Child don’t throw away your life
Oh let your heart dance, let your soul sing
Life’s secrets are hidden deep inside."
I watched her dancing on the porch with her past
Memories cradled gently in her arms.
I ran away, scared by the sight I had seen
As I fled, her word echoed in my mind
Chorus:
Take me home once again, past the rivers of lost time
So I can sing and dance just one more time
Take me home once again, past the rivers of my mind
So I can sing and dance until I die
And when time has shared with me
All its mysteries I’ll be free
And I will sing and I will dance across the sky
Take me home…..
Rambling recklessly through the years of my life
Disregarding all the pain I have caused
My quest for riches and dreams of fame
I missed the truth in the wisdom given me.
Chorus
As I danced with my memories on the porch
I saw a child looking warily at me
She wouldn’t stay or listen to my song
Wisdom must grow with the years
Chorus
Last ½ of Chorus
