Everything Is Awesome When I Dance

My feet are hugged by leather soles

The girls around me jump and turn

We’re here to dance, we’re here to learn

And groan when we have to do shoulder rolls

My head is higher, i see my goals

I don’t mind the bruises or the floor burn

When we wait backstage and my stomach churns

Dancing with my sisters is what makes me feel whole

 

We move as one, a well-oiled machine

Our leaps in synch, our smiles bright

We dance for joy, our only cause

I feel fulfilled, on stage with my team

Awards and trophies don’t mean so much tonight

As my friends by my side and the sound of applause
