Victory Dance

Lyrics

Should I close my eyes and prophesize
 Hoping maybe someday come?
 Should I wet the ground with my old tears
 Crying over what's been done?
 Should I lift the dirt and plant the seed
 Even though I've never grown?
 Should I wet the ground with the sweat from my brow
 And believe in my good work?
 My good work, my good work, my good work
 Hey there, I'm flying up above
 Looking down, on the tired earth
 But I can see
 I can see potential
 Speaking through you
 Speaking to you
 From all of heavens possibility
 Power, hey do you know how it work?
 Hey do you know that the meek
 They shall inherit the earth
 But you should work
 You should work
 Yeah for yourself and the family
 ♪
 Should I hit the water or stay on dry land
 Even though I never swam?
 Take machete into the brush
 Though at first there is no plan
 Taste the warpaint on my tongue
 As it's dripping with my sweat
 Place my gaze in the futures path
 Seeing things that ain't come yet
 Hope to watch the victory dance
 After the days work is done
 Hope to watch the victory dance
 In the evening's setting sun
 Hope to watch the victory dance
 Over many lives to come
 Hope to watch the victory dance
 In the evening's setting sun
 Setting sun, setting sun, setting sun!
 Hope to dance the victory dance
 After the days work is done
 Hope to dance the victory dance
 In the evenings setting sun
 Hope to dance the victory dance
 Over many lives to come
 Hope to dance the victory dance
 In the evenings setting sun
 Setting sun!
