TV Special Performance:

I've been dancing in the wings
Learning life through many things
Dancing is the way I love my life
In this crazy world we're living in

As time goes on and on
Each stage is waiting for something said through
Dancin', dancin', dancin', dancin', dancin'

The steps come one by one
Then Some by Some
And soon you're light on your feet
Feeling all up the beat
And you know choreography

You wear a smile that gleams
Your soul is singing out
You're dancin', dancin', dancin', dancin', dancin'
