She was a smart girl, young girl, loved to dance
|
In fact she did it every time she had the chance
|
She learned the moves, like
|
Studied bale when she went to school
|
And she could pirouette, balance, she could jump and spin and
|
But her soul felt lost, heart was lost
|
Like she was dancing inside of someone else's box
|
So she arched her back, felt to the floor
|
Cause that's what express the emotion more
|
Sometimes you gotta draw outside the line
|
Become the dance that's inside your mind
|
|
Gotta dance, like Martha dance,
|
Like Martha dance, like Martha dance
|
Dance, like Martha dance,
|
Like Martha dance, like Martha dance
|
|
And then the day came, Martha started the school
|
She taught the dancers how to dance beyond the rules
|
World war 2, the great depression,
|
All could a part in her imagination
|
All the costumes, all the props
|
Were just another way to make the audience's heart stop
|
These actors, dancers, part of the play
|
And Martha dancecould feel the day
|
All the heartache, all the joy
|
Expressing the moves of these girls and boys
|
If you could dance your fear, would you take the chance?
|
Cause that's how Martha chose to dance
|
|
Gotta dance, like Martha dance,
|
Like Martha dance, like Martha dance
|
Dance, like Martha dance,
|
Like Martha dance, like Martha dance
|

|
|
Gotta dance, like Martha dance,
|
Like Martha dance, like Martha dance
|
Dance, like Martha dance,
|
Like Martha dance, like Martha dance.
