We did not ask for this room

We did not ask for this room, or this music. We where invited in.
Therefore, because the dark surrounds us, let us turn our faces to the light.
Let us endure hardship to be grateful for plenty.
We have been given pain to be astounded by joy.
We have been given life to deny death.
We did not ask for this room, or this music.
But because we are here, let us dance.
