[Acts 24:16, 2 Corinthians 1:12, Hebrews 13:18]
|
|
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)
