	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]
