Move left, then right, two forward, one back
Some are graceful while others look like they are on crack
To feel the music is a joy beyond compare
Dance like no one is watching, if you can but dare

Look deep down to the bottom of your soul
Let the music grab you, Be it jazz, rap or rock n roll
First sway to the music, move from side to side
Don’t worry whose watching, don’t try to hide

I have to admit some people have no rhythm it seems
They jerk up and down, the beat in their own dreams
The look like a calf on the end of a rope
Pulling away with really no hope

But who am I to say what’s wrong and what’s right?
Just dance to your own beat, long into the night
Be true to yourself and let the inner light shine
Who really cares if you have had way too much wine?

Whether mambo, foxtrot, grunge or hard rock
Let the music be the key for your soul to unlock
Just tap your feet to a beat all your own
And let it thrill you right down to the bone

For music is truly what takes you away
To another place where your soul truly can play
Somewhere out there, a different place, a different time
Where the music inside is truly sublime
