La, La, La

She strolls 'long the golden shore Feeling so great, carefree She knows she's trying her hardest To be the best that she can be. Her music plays in her ears As she tap-dances in the sand She's her own superhero She doesn't need anyone's hand. She's made it through on her own She didn't give up or give in She worked her way through that part of life And she knows she was the one to win. She cartwheels through the soft waves That splash along the shore Her hair is falling free around her She's not held captive anymore. The light, cotton material of her blouse Flies around her gently The soft wind blows her hair As she waltzes in front of the sea. The world is her stage, her audience She isn't afraid anymore She doesn't care who is watching As she dances along the shore. She is everything she wants to be She's proven everyone wrong People said that she needed their help, But she had her own help all along. So there's that girl, dancing with no music Into the sea breeze, like her own spa Everyone's watching, waiting for her And she just sings, "La, la, la."
