DANCE

If you couldn't gather it from the title, a song about dancing. Enjoy.

Why can’t we dance?
Live like they live in the musicals.
Why can’t we dance?
Life like we’ve got soundtracks going in the halls.
We should all dance!
We’ve got the beat playing in our hearts.
We should all dance!
Take these grey days, and kick them apart.

Let’s dance and fight.
Let’s dance all night.
Make your feet move
And start to lose
Control.
Let’s dance all night.
You know that it’s only right.
Make your hips turn
And your soul burn
Alight.

Why can’t we dance?
Live like they live in the musicals.
Why can’t we dance?
Life like we’ve got soundtracks going in the halls.
We should all dance!
We’ve got the beat playing in our hearts.
We should all dance!
Take these grey days, and kick them apart.

When they come at us with guns and knives,
I know how we’ll get on by.
We’ll bring along our girl Maria
Dance and punch and then say see ya.
And when nothing is going our way
We all can just go get away.
Play our song in a dark warehouse
Dance and scream and let all that feeling out.

Let’s dance and fight.
Let’s dance all night.
Make your feet move
And start to lose
Control.
Let’s dance all night.
You know that it’s only right.
Make your hips turn
And your soul burn
Alight.

Why can’t we dance?
Live like they live in the musicals.
Why can’t we dance?
Life like we’ve got soundtracks going in the halls.
We should all dance!
We’ve got the beat playing in our hearts.
We should all dance!
Take these grey days, and kick them apart.

ha ha, indeed all your works have a very lyrical melody to it ( if that made any sense =). This i can bet is another lyrics to a song. The words are very very catchy. I actually found myself reading it like it was a song in itself and the tune (a random one) played in my head.

All the same, I think your piece was fun to read. Life would have had so much more color if there was always a background song to everything we did. And yes of course, who wouldn't like a world where you can just break into a dance despite the millions of people watching you like you have mental issues. =P
Great work =]

Yes, indeed, the frivolity of life!
We love it and we need it and to be reminded of the pure joy of life out there......hidden amoungst the grey ordinary of the day to day in this wonderful piece of work.....is uplifting to say the least.

The writer speaks of the delightful dimentions hidden amongst the layers of cold reality we shuffle about in and longs for the froth of life to seep through and drown us with all its wonderful pageantry and in searching for and expressing this urgent desire he paints a picture that sings with such vibrancy and colour that I feel the dreaminess of life come alive in me through this colourful work.....

I so enjoyed this timely reminder of the 'other' side of life though I have always known about it and have indulged in many a dance just for the pure joy of being alive and yes, the pageantry is there, alive and well, we just need to embrace it......thats all.

Thank you!!

I enjoyed this poem, especially after having a conversation with a friend about how teenagers seem so lost today, and why wouldn't they be. But giving in to the music inside all of us, yes that's what I need. Thanks so much for adding something positive to my day.
