Jackson Browne/David Lindley: "For A Dancer"

keep a fire for the human race
let your prayers go drifting into space
you never know what will be coming down
perhaps a better world is drawing near
and just as easily it could all disappear
along with whatever meaning you might have found
don't let the uncertainty turn you around
go on and make a joyful sound
--jackson browne (from "for a dancer")
