I Dance My Way

I woke up alone in the middle of the night

Full moon through my window

Flipped to the cold side of my pillow

I tossed and I turned, I wasn’t feeling right

A stubborn rhythm in the back of my mind

I’ve been chasing my dreams

Like a dog chases a bone

Stumbled down the dark hall

Banged my head against the brick wall

Stars and birds spun around my head

My feet began to slide

I wanna dance my way

I dance my way

No one can take that away

It’s my time to play

That’s why I dance,

I dance

I dance my way

The ostinato chorus, The rubato verse

The pizzicato strings and all the joy they bring

It moves through my body

From my toes to my lips

And back out into the Universe

I wanna dance my way

I dance my way

No one can take that away

It’s my time to play

That’s why I dance,

I dance

I dance my way

Been told so many times

I should dance and sing in rhyme

But this is my chance

To do my own dance

I don’t care if it’s right

It may as well be wrong

But it’s mine and mine alone

I wanna dance my way

I dance my way

No one can take that away

It’s my time to play

That’s why I dance,

I dance

I dance my way
