Eb                             F
 On the bank of the Tennessee River

 In a small Kentucky town

 I drew my first breath one cold November morning

    Eb                              Gm
And before my feet even touched the ground

         Eb                              Gm
With the doctors and the nurses gathered 'round

I started to dance, I started to dance

 A little boy full of wide-eyed wonder

Ab                    Bb
 Footloose and fancy free

  But it would happen, as it does for every dancer

         Eb                            Gm
That I'd stumble on a truth I couldn't see

    Eb                             Gm
And find a longing deep inside of me, it said
[Chorus]

I am the heart, I need the heartbeat

I am the eyes, I need the sight

I move my feet, I go through the motions

 I am the dancer

I need  the Lord of the dance

 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

        Eb                                Gm
By the one who moves with passion and with grace

       Eb                          Gm
As He dances over all that He has made
[Chorus]

I need the life

I move my feet, I go through the motions

But who'll give purpose to chance
