"Dream Rider"

These lyrics were transcribed by listening to the song, so are probably wrong in places. Blame me, not the musician, for any errors, please! Also, should you have a correct version, I'd be very grateful if you'd send it to me. ;-)



 

Living is dancing, dream riding fire daughter,
a ring of bright water aglint in the sun;
learning is chancing, so if you are caring
come forth and be daring, not fearful to run!

Growing is changing, stagnation is dying,
so why not be trying a path that is new?
Set your mind ranging upon a tree's branches,
if you take no chances your dreams can't come true!

Living is dancing and you are the dancer,
within you the answer if only you'll dare;
tame lightnings' lancings are over your mountain,
drink at wisdom's fountain, grow brighter in air!

Living is learning of starshine and wonder,
of dewdrops and thunder, the world at your self;
inside be turning and outward be growing,
you won't find this knowing in books on a shelf!

Learning is doing, not watching and waiting
or sadly debating what you fear to try;
seek your renewing, your own path be making,
the magic's for taking, so take it and fly!

Living is dancing and you are the dancer,
within you the answer if only you'll dare;
day lightning's lancings are over your mountain,
drink at wisdom's fountain, grow brighter in air!

Yours is the power and yours is the duty
from grimness bring beauty and joy out of pain;
let yourself flower, by fire enfolded,
by discipline molded, through trials you gain!

Teaching's not giving, you learn by the striving
to fail yet surviving to once again try;
striving is living, the struggle renewing
till by your undoing you conquer the sky!

Living is dancing and you are the dancer,
within you the answer if only you'll dare;
day lightning's lancings are over your mountain,
drink at wisdom's fountain, grow lighter in air!
