Dancing with the Lion

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 Gonna dance 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 greatest freedom when we stand up and sing Baby, 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 You gotta keep on dancing with the dinosaur Right is right and wrong is wrong just like it has been all 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 Oh, we 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 Oh, we gotta keep on dancing Oh, we gotta keep on dancing with the dinosaur Dancing with the dinosaur Dancing with the dinosaur Gonna live my life with conscience Gonna live my life with conviction Keep on dancing with the dinosaur Don't want to see the truth ignored Don't want to see the patch with conviction 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 Gonna keep on dancing, gonna keep on dancing with the dinosaur
