I'm Dancing Away


my steps are too fast,

my heart wants to dash,

the dance of tradition,

I still wont listen,

I'm dancing away,

I am stuck in my place,

for I cannot win this race,

my soul is bitter,

although I am not a quiter,

I'm dancing away,

the sun isn't shining,

so I am hiding,

my steps are too slow,

I don't wanna go,

I'm dancing away,

I see you smile,

I'll only be gone awhile,

I'll come back later,

now,

I'm dancing away
