Determined

Perhaps you carry the weight of a broken heart

Still under its heaviness, dance

A boring life seemed choreographed for you

The painful steps predetermined

Keep time to the quicker 1-2-3’s

That you hear from the life inside everything

When you have no music, tap out the rhythm

Hear the snap of fingers and the clap of hands

Maybe the lyrics didn’t give you joy

But no tempo has ever torn you down

You never forgot what the spotlight taught you

And no one believed your final bow

Take to the stage again, my friend

The crowd is awaiting you
