Dancin' Circles Round The Sun (Epictetus Speaks)

Disregard what don't concern you
 Don't let disappointment turn you
 Avoid adopting other people's view
 Know what you can and can't control
 Don't let envy take a toll
 It's nothing more than weather passing through
 When your back's against the wall
 When you're headed for a fall
 The tables set to make a run
 Dancin' circles round the sun
 Through action, wisdom is revealed
 And too much talk is like a shield
 In silence, lies the keys to how we grow
 When focused on the truth at hand
 The critics try to make you bland
 But they don't understand what they don't know
 Make your own cracks in the sky
 Grit your teeth and learn to fly
 And when the right thing has been done
 You'll dance circles round the sun
 Forgive the ones who meant to harm you
 Don't let superstition charm you
 Conform your wishes only to what's real
 Your reputation doesn't matter
 Let idle gossip chirp and chatter
 No one else can tell you how you feel
 In between the masks you wear
 Wash your face and comb your hair
 You're not hurting anyone

 Your mind cries out to God alone
 Please send me someone I can own
 Your soul says, "Son, you're walking on thin ice"
 Possession in the broadest sense
 Compounded by coincidence
 When all it takes is one roll of the dice
 In between the good and bad
 Think of all the fun you've had
 It's the same for everyone
 Dancin' circles round the sun
 Evolution comes in fits
 It stops and starts, it coughs and spits
 Picasso and Miles Davis come to mind
 True artists, bold unbridled passion
 No concern for fad or fashion
 Sexy beasts in love with woman kind
 Bend the rules until it breaks
 Stand your ground until it shakes
 That's the way to get things done

 Hey, sod convention, let's have fun
