The spotlight brightens
The music begins
I'm up on my toes
As I twirl and spin
I jump and I leap
From one side to another
Feeling just the music
Never any other.
I raise up in pointe
Then down in plie
Performing what I've practiced
For so long everyday
To dance is my dream,
I can't let it die
For when I do dance
I feel I can fly
The world can disapear
My troubles can cease
For just one moment
I am truly at peace.
