Dance With Me



I only run with passion
vain can stand aside
while strength comes into view
and insecurity ran to hide
I twirl across the emotion
of fearlessness, I beam
this graspable sense of beauty
like something from a dream

I might only see confidence
for shy is long away
but my heart only sees you
and to me,
that's perfectly okay

this night seems more alive
with clouded doubts off at sea
it lets me live!
it lets me breathe!
it lets me just be me

So take the stars tonight
and some lucky strands of
love
and tie them to our hearts
and let them shine above

tie it secure and tight
don't let go if you get the chance
just laugh with me as our feet twirl
'round

under the streetlight,
dance;
