This is the title track from Trisha Watts 1989 collection, Dare to Dance. It’s another clear case of a call to live in God’s reign without explicitly mentioning Christ.
It is credited to Trisha Watts and Monica O’Brien and the sheet music can be purchased at Willow.
Once again I could find no online renditions so did my best with the sheet music in the preview. This is classic Trisha Watts with no clear idea what key is happening here and it always makes for an inventive tune. There are C notes that are naturals but not noted in the sheet music.
Chorus
Dare to dance with dreamers, sing their song.
Dare to dance their stories, singout strong.
Dare to dance with freedom your whole life long.
Dare to dance again.
1 Free the captives, heal the blind,
Leave the fear of oppression behind.
Walk on boldly, take a stand,
Let’s walk on New Jerusalem.
Chorus
2 Break the silence, spread the word,
Let the voice of liberation be heard.
Walk on boldly, take a stand,
Let’s walk on New Jerusalem.
