Love to Dance, Dance for Love

The spotlight, center stage
Stage fright, I’m not afraid
This is my life, center stage
Nothing new to me

I’m not afraid
It’s quite comforting actually
Having everyone think they know you
Then no one really tries to

Music is the only one who knows me
It starts in my ears through my knees
Vibrating to my toes
Anxious to show you my heart


When I twirl like this do you see I’m frustrated
You hate it, I love it
When I kick like this do you see anger
Does this fall tell of the salt I cry at night

Music bangs from the speakers
Carbon Dioxide jumps from my lungs
Emotions drip from my pores
So much locked inside

Going home, tired, drained
Practice is over
Sweaty, exhausted, every muscle sore
Why does he look at me that way?

It’s night, I don’t rest
Not from sadness, but butterflies
The salt has dried
The ringing telephone makes my heart jump

Spotlight, don’t need one
Do you see how I glow?
When I jump like this do you see my heart bursting?
Does my smile take over your lips?

Center stage, this is our life
With the spotlight comes rumors, lies
He knows all of me, I’m not afraid
Love will pull us through

When I dance do you see I’m happy?
