Dance on the Moon

In a far away land, in the palm of God's hand 
A child was borne in the night
And a bright flint steel spark set fire to the dark 
And he taught us to dance in the light
So we danced on the moon to a silvery tune 
And shivered with frosty delight
And the stars sang with joy for the birth of a boy 
And they danced on that first Christmas night

Did they sing you a song for tomorrow? 
Did they teach you the frailties of man?
Oh we live in a world full of sorrow and pain
Won't you teach us to dance once again?
If we will dance on with you, we will dance on the moon
Oh we will dance on the moon

Happy birthday lord Jesus, king of all kings
The mountains bow down at your feet
And the pines down below 'neath their blankets of snow 
Sway to the wondrous beat
And after all of these years your song still endears 
And stirs my old soul to it's depths
And as Christmas time nears, lost love reappears 
And we dance on the moon in your steps

Will you sing us a song for tomorrow? 
Will you teach us the dance of the land?
Though we live in a world full of sorrow and pain 
We will dance on the moon once again
If we will dance on with you, we will dance on the moon
Oh, we will dance on the moon

And we'll dance on the moon to a silvery tune 
And shiver with frosty delight
And we'll all sing with joy for the birth of a boy
Just like they did on that first Christmas night
If we will dance on with you, we will dance on the moon
Oh, we will dance on the moon
