Dancing With The Dinosaur

Dancing With The Dinosaur (Heaven In The Real World Album Version) - Steven Curtis Chapman

Once upon a time not so long

Ago in a land not so far away

Right and wrong were not quite so hard to know

And black and white were not so gray

Times have changed and now it seems

Conscience has gone the way of the dinosaur

But I believe it's still alive and well today

In the hearts of those who will stand up and say

I'm dancing with the dinosaur

Living my life with conscience and conviction

I don't want to see the truth ignored

So I've gotta keep on dancing

I've gotta keep on dancing with the dinosaur

I'm dancing with the dinosaur

There's a banner waving saying

Tolerance will set you free it's the latest thing

While the consequences it leaves

Behind are like a ball and chain

But there's a voice in everyone called conscience

That's been around since God created man

And as we learn to listen to its whispering

We'll find the greater

Freedom when we stand up and sing

I'm dancing with the dinosaur

Living my life with conscience and conviction

I don't want to see the truth ignored

So I've gotta keep on dancing

I've gotta keep on dancing with the dinosaur

Right is right and wrong is wrong

Just like it has been along

We cannot sit by and see

Conscience become history

So come on get up and dance

Dance this dance with me

Gonna keep on dancing

Gonna keep on dancing with the dinosaur

Gonna keep on dancing

Gonna keep on dancing with the dinosaur

I'm dancing with the dinosaur

Living my life with conscience and conviction

I don't want to see the truth ignored

So I've gotta keep on dancing

I've gotta keep on dancing with the dinosaur

I'm dancing with the dinosaur

Living my life with conscience and conviction

I don't want to see the truth ignored

So I've gotta keep on dancing

I've gotta keep on dancing with the dinosaur

Gonna keep on dancing with the dinosaur

Gonna keep on dancing

Gonna keep on dancing with the dinosaur

Gonna keep on dancing

Once upon a time not so long

Ago in a land not so far away

Right and wrong were not quite so hard to know

And black and white were not so gray

Gonna keep on dancing with the dinosaur

Gonna keep on dancing

Gonna keep on dancing with the dinosaur

Gonna keep on dancing

Gonna keep on dancing with the dinosaur

Gonna keep on dancing

Gonna keep on dancing with the dinosaur
