The Shores of Jordan

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, I looked up into heaven, I thought I'd solve life's mysteries I observed the constellations for a clue to my destiny The rhyme of life confounds me, things will be as things will be So I'll just dance the shores of Jordan till the angels carry me [Chorus] I'm gonna let my feet go dancing to my very favorite songs 'Cause I know my time for leaving is bound to come before too long And there ain't no way of me knowing how tomorrow's gonna be So I just dance the shores of Jordan till the angels carry me [Verse 2] And I travelled to a prison, I saw my share of shattered dreams Were the tables slightly tilted? I could be bound, they could be free But I believe no tear goes wasted and so I fell there on my knees Vowed I'd dance the shores of Jordan till the angels carried me [Chorus] I'm gonna let my feet go dancing to my very favorite songs 'Cause I know my time for leaving is bound to come before too long And there ain't no way of me knowing how tomorrow's gonna be So I just dance the shores of Jordan till the angels carry me [Verse 3] And I saw a weary traveller heading down a dusty road And I said, "Friend, please may I help you? It seems you haul a heavy load" But he said, "Though my burden's heavy, in my heart I'm traveling light So I can cross old river Jordan when I'm called to the other side" [Chorus] I'm gonna let my feet go dancing to my very favorite songs 'Cause I know my time for leaving is bound to come before too long And there ain't no way of me knowing how tomorrow's gonna be So I just dance the shores of Jordan till the angels carry me [Outro] I just dance the shores of Jordan Until the angels carry me I know they'll carry me
