I ain't tired do you hear me I ain't tired do you see me I ain't tired will you know me When we meet along the way I'm dancing here in the morning I'm dancing here in the evening I'm dancing here the whole day long Just to keep the night away Around the world in search of home By choice or fate we wander on One day in Philadelphia We stopped along the way On a street where no one walks alone We saw him dancing on his own His feet made music for the poem That I still can hear him say Look between my feet and the ground Look between the up and the down Do you see the people rushing round As they pass the time Overworked in hospitals Underpaid in run down schools In a world where money writes the rules I'm dancing for a better day Don't know where I learned this song But I know it's older that I am Was it born inside the memories Of those who came before Bound in chains of slavery They were forced to dance upon the sea Sailing for the land of liberty Still looking for the door.
