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
