A Dancer's Broken Dream
Boom Boom
 Rhythms I hear inside my head
 Boom Boom
 The traces left of a broken thread
 Boom Boom
 Of grace and beauty and whirling hair
 Boom Boom
 With laughter, glitter, and makeup to spare
 
 Bang Bang
 Leap high, reach up far
 Bang Bang
 All for that one moment, to be a star
 Bang Bang
 Laughter, tears, a lost tap shoe
 Bang Bang
 The incredible moments, those tender few
 Bang Bang
 Focus as intense as beam
 Bang Bang
 All this show, for a dancer's dream
 
 Crash Crash
 Accidents happen, every day
 Crash Crash
 To do no damage is what we pray
 Crash Crash
 But sometimes, occasionally, it doesn't work out that way
 Crash Crash
 Grace and poise...the price we pay
 Crash Crash
 The seams that hold us together begin to fray
 Crash!
 
 Dancing...gone...my world turned grey
 
 Those days of life and movement
 
 
 Stab me with pain
 The bang,..boom..gone
 
 Less every day
 
 Now I watch...
 
 Remembering
 The painfilled days
 
 
 How much does it all mean?
 
 A dancer's broken dream
