i looked up into heaven
I thought i'd solve life's mysteries
I observed the constellations for a clue to my destiny
But the rhyme of life confounds me
Things will be as things will be
So i'll just dance the shores of jordan 'til the angels carry me
I traveled to a prison
Saw my share of shattered dreams
Were the tables slightly tilted?
I could be bound
they could be free
But i believe no tear goes wasted and so i fell there on my knees
And vowed i'd dance the shores of jordan 'til the angels carried me
I'm gonna let my feet go dancing to my very favourite songs
'cause i know the time for leaving is bound to come before too long
And there ain't no way of me knowing how tomorrow's gonna be
So i'll just dance the shores of jordan 'til the angels carry me
I saw a weary traveler heading down a dusty road
I said friend
Please may i help you
It seems you haul a heavy load
And he said though my burden's heavy
In my heart i'm travelling light
So i can cross old river jordan when i'm called to the other side
I'm gonna let my feet go dancing to my very favourite songs
'cause i know the time for leaving is bound to come before too long
And there ain't no way of me knowing how tomorrow's gonna be
So i'll just dance the shores of jordan 'til the angels carry me
