They were left there by my tears that didn't cry,
They were the tears of good things God has done,
They are for battles that have just been won.

Dancing In The RhythmShe tried not to dance the rhythm
Couldn't hold back anymore the beating
Facial expression, priceless now in motion.
She tried to fight and release the urge
