Celebrate
Ghost Dance Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And in the here and now Where the dream is sold I lay my money down And so the truth is told Is it a crime oh say it isn�t so Killing time the only way I know And when it all comes down No matter what they say The truth can still be found When nothing else remains It shines unseen In my heart I know it�s right Shine for me this starless night Celebrate, celebrate open your heart Celebrate, celebrate open your heart And let the feeling flow Don�t stand and look for words to say Forget all that you know Celebrate this final day Only now, now I can see your face Tonight is ours, let tomorrow wait Chorus And on this hallowed ground We�ve come to call our home We build a wall of sound And stand or fall alone While others wait for guidance from above We celebrate our love, love, love Chorus

"And in the here and now

Is it a crime oh say it isn't so
Killing time the only way I know
And when it all comes down

The truth can still be found
When nothing else remains
It shines unseen
In my heart I know it's right
Shine for me this starless night

Celebrate, celebrate open your heart
Celebrate, celebrate open your heart

Don't stand and look for words to say
Forget all that you know
Celebrate this final day
Only now, now I can see your face
Tonight is ours, let tomorrow wait
And on this hallowed ground
We've come to call our home
We build a wall of sound
And stand or fall alone
While others wait for guidance from above
We celebrate our love, love, love
And on this hallowed ground
We've come to call our home
We build a wall of sound
