Dance Lesson

I have been trying to be happy

But nothing has ever coming through

So I have learned to dance my sadness

And also sing

I search for my little share

Of all the love a heart can bear

For that I’ve learned to dance this way my heart has yet a chance

Dancing and faking to be happy

Until something comes through

All I am asking for now

Teach my heart beat the blues

A sad fool

A clown for some

I need to keep on going

And call it home

What other choice I have? Then dance and sing my life

Oh no sir put it to rest

You won’t (will not) see me crying

‘Cos life is way too good to ignore the fact

that if my heart is beating I still can laugh on that

it’s all an irony with all and all within

what my life insist to play

so teach me dear at once

make peace with this dj

my heart to beat this hymn

teach my heart to beat the blues….
