1.I’m holding my breath, waiting for the moment
2.When that bright light will eventually shine upon me3.
4.But contrary to expectation, the opportunity is rare
5.I’m stuck staring at a faint light at the end of a dark tunnel6.
7.It’s only human to live life in a balancing act
8.If you raise either arm too high
9.Both shoulders end up slumping in the end10.
11.It’s so hard to leave the pack and walk alone
12.For better or worse, the more attention you draw
13.The more you’ll be knocked back down14.
15.Having to take a step back
16.Stamping our feet in frustration
17.What?! What is this downward slope?
18.We were born to be free19.
20.Hey girls, come on
21.Let you wear the dancing shoes.
22.Take those hands bound in chains
23.And play them like a tambourine
24.Can you dance?
25.Even if you fall, keep on going through the steps!
26.It’s perfectly fine if they’re a bit awkward
27.So just do it, do it, do it, do it!!28.
29.I know what’s in style is always changing
30.But that’s just incentive to keep doing things my own way31.
32.A lot can happen, once you’re at it for a quarter century
33.But if you spend all your time avoiding problems, you’re bound to break at some point34.
35.Don’t you think Salvador Dalí
36.Is a little bit grotesque?
37.I think it’s great that he’s not normal
38.We were born to be free39.
40.Hey boys, come on
41.Let you wear the dancing shoes.
42.Fight against the weight around your ankles
43.And get right to stepping!
44.Scatter your breaths throughout the open sky
45.You look much cooler than you think you do
46.So just do it, do it, do it, do it!!
47.Hey guys, come on
48.Let you wear the dancing shoes.
49.Take those hands bound in chains
50.And play them like a tambourine
51.Can you dance?
52.Even if you fall, keep on going through the steps!
53.It’s perfectly fine if they’re a bit awkward
54.So just do it, do it, do it, do it!!
55.Do it, do it, do it, do it!!
