About this song:
This is one of my most popular songs. It has high energy. A cool guitar solo, a catchy refrain and honest, authentic DEPTH. It basically records the moment of my own transformational journey’s beginning. “Thoughts are things, like falcon’s wings! BELIEVE in them.”
Rise Up and Dance
Song # 163 | 4/13/1991 | CD: Visions and Voices
Refrain:
Rise up and dance to the light in your lover’s eyes
I have been walking down streets of impossibilities
For so long that I forgot just why I came
I have seen visions I have heard voices
I have done my time in prisons that do not have bars or walls or chains
I have crossed rivers, I have climbed mountains
I have burned my face in deserts where the sun knew me by my name
I have heard music that was drifting on spring breezes
10,000 years ago and I have never been the same
Refrain:
You have been created not by God but by your self
To live the dream that you have chosen to call reality
You might be surprised to find that we are all just actors
We write all our own lines and choose to be or not to be
Refrain:
Tie your shoes tightly and then stretch out your thoughts
Remember thoughts are things like falcon’s wings believe in them
Leave all your doubts behind you, burn all your bridges
I said burn them, burn them, burn them!
Refrain
Tuning: DADGAD
