Children playing in the sand
Trying to have fun while they're still young
Dance until the morning light
Shots rang out, they start to run
Bodies fall, nowhere to go
Abandoned cars left on the road
Ran through an orange grove to a town
Houses on fire, death all around
How does this life go on
When it feels like hell is all around
We will dance again
Like fire in the desert
Where we lost who we were
Somewhere in the sand
We will dance again
Til' ashes turn to flowers
So hear my voice in the dark
We'll dance cause we're alive
Three a.m. a mother cries
Somewhere her daughter is still alive
Seems like the world has lost its mind
Have I gone crazy, am I just tired
Siren sounds, bombs in the air
A dream of peace like a foreign land
Young soldier headed out to war
Kisses his wife, won't make it home
Don't give in to despair
Let music fill your heart again
We will dance again
Like fire in the desert
Where we lost who we were
Somewhere in the sand
We will dance again
Til' ashes turn to flowers
So hear my voice in the dark
We'll dance cause we're alive
If I could just be where you are
I'd want you to know that you're loved
An army searches for you
We'll never leave you behind
If I could just be where you are
I'd move heaven and earth
And burn it down, just to bring you home
Alive, alive, alive
We will dance again
Like fire in the desert
Where we lost who we were
Somewhere in the sand
We will dance again
Til' ashes turn to flowers
So hear my voice in the dark
We'll dance cause we're alive
