Nazarene: We dance to give thanks
We dance towards the light
Alleluia!
Nazarene: Next I said this:
I will play the pipe if you will dance,
I will mourn if you will mourn with me.
Nazarene: I said Amen.
The zodiac knows our song,
The planets dance in a ring, like us.
Nazarene: I said Amen.
The universe sings our hymn, it dances our dance.
Everyone must dance or live in darkness.
Nazarene: I said Amen.
We gave him back Amen.
Alleluia!
