I am a dancer
I twirl, leap, and spin
I jump pirouette, and tap
I am a dancer
I feel pain and fear
I feel defeat and failure
Yet I keep going
I smile, I practice, I perform
I feel happiness and joy
I hove grace and beauty
I hear the applause
I perform and do best
Sometimes I fail
I don't give up
For I am a dancer
I am brave and strong
I dance not for fame and glory
But for how I feel inside
I am happiness, joy, love, talent,
Determination and beauty
I am a dancer
