- I looked up into heaven, I thought I'd solve life's mysteries
- I observed the constellations for a clue to my destiny
- but the rhyme of life confounds me,
- things will be as things will be
- so I'll just dance the shores of Jordan 'til the angels carry me
- I traveled to a prison, saw my share of shattered dreams
- Were the tables slightly tilted?
- I could be bound, they could be free
- but I believe no tear goes wasted and so I fell there on my knees
- and vowed I'd dance the shores of Jordan 'til the angels carried me
- I'm gonna let my feet go dancing to my very favourite songs
- 'cause I know the time for leaving is bound to come before too long
- and there ain't no way of me knowing how tomorrow's gonna be
- so I'll just dance the shores of Jordan 'til the angels carry me
- I saw a weary traveler heading down a dusty road
- I said "Friend, please may I help you,
- it seems you haul a heavy load"
- and he said "Though my burden's heavy,
- in my heart I'm travelling light
- so I can cross old river Jordan when I'm called to the other side"
- I'm gonna let my feet go dancing to my very favourite songs
- 'cause I know the time for leaving is bound to come before too long
- and there ain't no way of me knowing how tomorrow's gonna be
- so I'll just dance the shores of Jordan 'til the angels carry me
- I looked up into heaven, I thought I'd solve life's mysteries
- I observed the constellations for a clue to my destiny
- but the rhyme of life confounds me,
- things will be as things will be
- so I'll just dance the shores of Jordan 'til the angels carry me
- I traveled to a prison, saw my share of shattered dreams
- Were the tables slightly tilted?
- I could be bound, they could be free
- but I believe no tear goes wasted and so I fell there on my knees
- and vowed I'd dance the shores of Jordan 'til the angels carried me
- I'm gonna let my feet go dancing to my very favourite songs
- 'cause I know the time for leaving is bound to come before too long
- and there ain't no way of me knowing how tomorrow's gonna be
- so I'll just dance the shores of Jordan 'til the angels carry me
