Riff 1 Riff 2 (Repeat Verse): A little boy full of wide-eyed wonder Footloose and fancy-free But it would happen as it does for every dancer That I'd stumble on a truth I couldn't see And find a longing deed inside of me, Saying: Chorus: I am the heart, I need the heartbeat. I am the eyes, I need the sight.

Riff 1 Riff 2 Verse 2: The world beneath us spins in circles And this life makes us twist and turn and sway But we were made for more than rhythm with no reason By the One who moves with passion and with grace As He dances over all that He has made Chorus: I am the heart, He is the heartbeat. I am the eyes, He is the sight. And I see clearly, I am just a body. He is the life. I move my feet, I go through the motions, but He gives purpose to chance I am the dancer, He is the Lord of the Dance.
