Final Chance for Dance
The idea rocketed around my head with determination
Fireworks spitting flames into my imagination
Join dance
Join dance
Join dance
It bounced into my ta-ta-tapping toes and my beat-beating heart
Every time that the melody would start
No, no, and no
In years past I've tried dance
Tried to jump, spin, frolic, and failed
It's senior year
It's too late
Too far gone
But the intensity heightened
Join dance class
So with shoulders slumped
And a throat that was lumped
I walked into that fateful studio
Five, six, seven, eight
To escape, was it too late?
But the other girls smiled
I was welcomed home as a child
and we danced
we danced twirling into the sky
we danced past the constellations
we danced and finally I
was home, right here in dance class
when our hour was past
and the clock reached its last
I waltzed out of that studio
