Tonight we dance
Tonight we laugh
Tonight we advance
From the past.

Imagine that
On twinkle toes
That we dance away
From misery and woes.

One more beat
One more move
I hear it sweet
I’ve nout to lose.

Only solemn thoughts
And shadow days
I hear that beat
I’m on my way.

What’s that you say?
You want to dance with me?
Then let us dance together
In synchrony, in sympathy?

So sim-p-ly
We move in step
To the symphony
I lose myself.

I lose the weights
I lose my thoughts
In the music’s depth
I get lost.

I rise above
From smaller mind
I fall in love
With a moment in time.

This moment is mine
Its future too
Music hits my spine
And I move anew.

You’re moving too
You move at pace
My spirit lifts
In line with bass.

Look at us
Mere dancing fools
Placing trust
In the composer’s rules.

Where we express ourselves
In our own way
While still giving ourselves
To the music at play.

Can’t always dictate where we go
If we’re to stay in time with the beat
It’s a balance and flow
I’m only happy to keep.

I’ll keep it tonight
I’ll treasure this time
For tonight is ours
And tonight is mine.

Tonight we shine
Tonight we feast
Tonight my mind
Dines with the beat.

I feel a rush
Music comes in waves
Tonight’s for us
Tonight’s to be saved.

The music speaks
The rhythm seeps through
There’s a freedom we meet
In the way that we move.

Tonight we dance
Tonight we laugh
Tonight we advance
From the chains of the past.

Tonight we shine
Tonight we feast
Tonight our minds
Dine with the beat.
