lyrics

As you remember your name
Can you forget it, too?
Can you learn to move the way the spirit tells you to?

As you began to sway
Your body stretching loose
Can you feel the Earth beneath you swaying too?

Some people never make it out on the floor
Some people never make it past the door
You might think she don’t know how to dance
Because she’s dancing free

Some people never make it out on the floor
Some people never make it past the door
You might think she don’t know how to dance
Because she’s dancing free

As you recite your lines
After you hear your queue
Can you find yourself in the role you’re acting through?

The spotlight points your way
The stage shades to blue
Sing your song, there’s nothing wrong
If you’re singing true

Some people never make it out on the stage
Some people never read the second page
You might think she don’t know how to act
Because she’s acting free.

Some people never make it out on the floor
Some people never make it past the door
You might think she don’t know how to dance
Because she’s dancing free
