Dance For Their Light

Morning broke across the desert sky,

Music fading where the young had gathered.

Lights went dark before their time,

And names became the stars we carry after.

Shoes left silent in the dust,

Echoes where the laughter used to be.

But every heart remembers still The joy they brought,

the way they danced so free.

They won’t dance again,

So we will dance for them.

We’ll raise the lights,

we’ll sing their names,

And let the music start again.

They won’t dance again,

But love will not be still.

For every life that darkness took,

We’ll dance because they will.

Every photograph becomes a flame,

Every story keeps a soul beside us.

No night can steal the love they gave,

No silence can erase the light inside us.

We will gather, hand in hand,

Under open skies where hope belongs.

And every beat will carry them Inside the rhythm,

inside every song.

Dance for the laughter.

Dance for the dreams.

Dance for the futures That should have been.

Dance through the sorrow.

Dance through the tears.

Dance so their memory Lives through the years.

They

won’t dance again,

So we will dance for them.

We’ll fill the night with living light,

And let the music rise again.

They won’t dance again,

But they are with us still.

In every heart, in every song,

In every step we will.

So when the music starts,

And the morning meets the sky,

We’ll dance for every name,

And keep their light alive.

They won’t dance again…

So we will dance for them.
