Lyrics
Don?t be so serious
Lay down your armor
Do you know how to dance with me
Do you know how to shake it free
Come out of yourself
Dance around the fire
Calling in the children
The hurt and the wounded
There is a place for you in the circle
Where you can laugh and play and dance and sing
And let the wild hearts be
Laugh and play and dance and sing
And let the wild hearts be?
Don?t be so serious
Holding up your honor
Can you let your guard come down
Can we find the common ground
Come out of yourself?
