Dancing Shoes

As a young boy my mum would tell me, that in life, happiness is the key

So when at school they asked me, when I grew up what did I want to be

I wrote “happy” on the paper, they told me that I wasn’t right
I had misunderstood their question, I told them they’d misunderstood life

Put on your dancing shoes, (Dance like no one’s watching you)

Where are your dancing shoes?, (Dance like no one’s watching you)

We sacrifice health to make money, we spend money regaining our health

A cancerous message is broadcast, happiness = wealth

I left behind this logic, unconcerned with boom or bust

I’m tuned to a different station, when the music starts playing you must…

Put on your dancing shoes, (Dance like no one’s watching you)

Where are your dancing shoes?, (Dance like no one’s watching you) x2

So anxious about the future, so guilty about the past

Afraid of getting nowhere, while life passes by so fast

All that you have is this moment, it’s all that there’s ever been

Everything else is beyond your control, so enjoy the moment you’re in

Put on your dancing shoes!, (Dance like no one’s watching you)

Where are your dancing shoes?, go on and dance like no one is watching
