lyrics

Teach me to dance in the dust, David
Teach me to dance in the dust, David
Make me a fool today
Or I’ll never be wise when I pray
Teach me to weep for all that I see
Hide my eyes from all that I despise

My feet are broken and my back is cracked
From all the days searching for what I lack
What have you got in the dust, David?
What keeps you so happy in the dust, David?
Is it love that moves your feet
To dance in the ashes of a crowded street?

David I don’t understand how to move
With the weight of all I’ve got to prove
The past is staring straight down at me
And he laughed and said, don’t you see?
To dance in the dust love will burn your shame
It rages on until it changes your name
And you’re never the same

Love makes you dance in the dust
Love gives you something to trust
Love lets you dance in the dust
Love lets you dance in the dust
