Eric (spoken):

Who needs words?

Dancing beats small talk any day.

It's the way your feet smile, or laugh.

It lets you say so many things.

Eric (sung):

Dancing is a language

That is felt instead of heard

You can whisper, sing, or shout

Without so much as a word

Eric (spoken):

Try it, go on.

Eric (sung):

Like so!

Just let your emotions

Tell your body what to do

See how much a single

Gesture can reveal

And every little step

Every single step

Is one step closer

To saying what you feel

Once the music hits you

And ambitions fall away

And you find that you're

Expressing things your

Voice daren't say

Don't be afraid. Let go!

Soon as you surrender

What's inside will sweep on through

As the boundaries raised

Between us disappears

And every little step

Every single step

Is one step closer

To talking loud and clear

A dance is like a conversation

Except you never need to make a sound

And once you've begun

You speak as one, give and take

Back and forth

Round and round!

(dance break)

A dance is like a conversation

Except your lips don't

Ever need to part

And once you've begun

You'll speak as one

Cheek to cheek

Toe to toe

Heart to heart

Dancing is a language

That is felt instead of heard

But it says much more

Than language ever could

And every little step

Every single step

Is one step closer

One step closer

One step closer

To being understood
