[Chorus]
My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key
My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key
[Verse 1]
I'm standing on a stage
Of fear and self doubt
It's a hollow play
But they'll clap anyway
[Chorus]
My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love

That screams my name at night
But when I get to the doorway
There's no one in sight
I'm living in an age
Where I realize I'm dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key
[Outro]
You're standing next to me
My mind holds the key
Set my spirit free
Set my spirit free
Set my body free
Set my body free
Set my body free
