Tip the hourglass over / Listen to the chimes The meter's runnin' and the pressure's risin' Watch the numbers climb Step out on the hometown stage Tell the story / Turn the page Hear the drummer coming near Forever dancing through the years Back then / That's when we sowed the seed I want to be around to see the tree Natural magic / Tragicomic force This living river runs it's course Share the laughter / Shed the tears Forever dancing through the years Thunder on the Babylon skyline Sophisticated savages sniff the wind Cling to clocks and calendars We'll still be everything we've been We are the shouts that ebb away Echoes of our yesterday Asking the answer to appear Forever dancing through the years Now the story's come of age Close the chapter / Turn the page Begin again the way is clear Forever dancing through the years Forever dancing through the years Forever dancing through the years Forever dancing through the years
