The Dancer

The beat hits my ears and captures my soul Takes me over and leaves me with no self-control The words clash against my head and transfer through my body For the moment the song runs is the time I release my inn self For that span of time I forget the world For that little bit i can just enter some other place Another dimension For some time I have had to live up to certain expectations Do this do that Those words that go on and on and repeat like a track stuck on replay Society today has taught me that originality shouldn't exist That it will interfere with the future But who can really tell what the future holds? Burning my head and molding my mind into what you want it to be MR. this and Mr. that They tell me that dancing will get me nowhere But for me personally I don't give a damn about whether it does or not Dancer is who I am From what I see a dancer can be success On the street corner i see a person with a hat full of bills to pay his rent In a club I see a stripper who makes enough money to put food on her table In a School I see a dancer who makes enough money to live A dancer can be successful I am a dancer and from what I see I will be successful too
