Introducing the greatest talent ever to emerge from the orange bedroom at my parents house. I play guitar like.... well, like a guy playing guitar. I tickle ivories. I twiddle on the computer. I sometimes enjoy beans on toast for breakfast. And in the cracks between the eating, sleeping, laughing, crying, working, breathing experience that is my life there sometimes slips out songs like these.

Story behind the song
Wrote this back in the mid 70's after attending a bible study on Ezekial 47:1-13, which spoke about the progressive stages of Christian commitment, in terms of wading deeper and deeper into a river, until eventually all you can do is go with the flow! I really liked the 'dancing in the river of life' imagery, so thought 'go for it'. Enjoy!
Lyrics
Dancing in the River of Life (based on Ezekial 47:1-13) © Adrian J Pratt 1977 I heard a voice calling from out of the gloom A wise man told me to sing a very special tune Saying keep on dancing, dancing in the river of life He said I've got to drift wherever the music goes And be right on in it from my neck down to my toes Saying keep on dancing, dancing in the river of life Dancing, dancing in the river of life Dancing, dancing in the river of life He says I've got to follow where the music leads Take the song to heart and go where it will please Saying keep on dancing, dancing in the river of life Got to get drift to the music of the waves Got to get it together in a very special way Saying keep on dancing, dancing in the river of life Dancing, dancing in the river of life Dancing, dancing in the river of life Out of the temple entrance flowing to the east At the south side flows a life stream underneath I danced into the stream but only ankle deep Moved on a bit further I was right on up to my knees A while later the river came up to my waist Further commitment meant no longer could wade The only thing I could do was to swim I'm beginning to see what the wise prophet means! Get right on in the water let it flow right through your life Surrender your body as a living sacrifice Saying keep on dancing, dancing in the river of life People of the body follow the head though the waters Because with his unity we are sons and daughters Saying keep on dancing, dancing in the river of life Dancing, dancing in the river of life Dancing, dancing in the river of life Said keep on dancing, dancing in the river Said keep on dancing, dancing in the river Keep on dancing,in the river of life Said keep on dancing, dancing in the river Said keep on dancing, dancing in the river Keep on dancing,in the river of life etc....
