Hand in hand
they twist and turn
spinning
grinning
circling round
rhythm is of no concern
simple joy
is simply earned
music
make the people twirl
music
disregard the world
music
bring both young and old
music
make the timid bold
hand to shoulder
hand to waist
practiced steps
at practiced pace
bring a smile
to every face
set toes to tap
and minds to peace
music
make the people twirl
music
disregard the world
music
make us feel as one
different notes
for everyone
in a line
they move in sync
in a line
they coexist
let this world
be like a dance
where stepping on toes
is taking a chance
music
make the people twirl
music
reconnect the world
music
make each heart a verse
music
better even worst
let the ryhthm of life
be set to a song
which everyone knows
and dances along
which everyone sings
hitting good notes and bad
and when the tune ends
looking back
being glad
dance
when you don’t know the song
dance
when you don’t get along
dance
when you are down right tired
dance
when stuck fast in the mire
dance
and hold the nearest hand
dance
til legs no longer stand
and dance
dance
dance.
