ANNA
I WAIT, FREAKISH AND SHY,
STANDING ON THE SIDE, ALONE,
AS THE NORMAL WORLD WALTZES BY.
I WATCH, FEELING THEM STARE,
WISHING THEY WOULD LET ME JOIN
IN THE DANCE OF LIFE I SEE THERE.
BENEATH THIS DRAGON’S HIDE
A PRINCESS LIVES INSIDE,
AND YOU COULD FREE HER IF YOU TRIED.
EV’RY DAY I GO INSANE,
TRYING, FAILING TO BLOCK OUT THE PAIN
OF MY SO-CALLED LIFE.
EV’RY NIGHT, A VISION APPEARS.
DREAMS OF DANCING, THE WORLD DISAPPEARS.
I’M AS LIGHT AS AIR,
LOOKING FINE AND FAIR.
I WANT ONE DANCE,
ONE CHANCE TO FLY AND BE FREE.
LET ME HAVE JUST ONE WHIRL AS A NORMAL GIRL.
GIVE ME ONE DANCE
ONLY ONE DANCE
FOR ME.
THERE I AM
LOVELY AND BRIGHT.
NO ONE EVER HAS SEEN SUCH A SIGHT
AS I CROSS THE ROOM.
THERE HE IS, A BOY WITH NO NAME,
CATCHING MY EYE, HE IS DRAWN TO MY FLAME
AND AS HE COMES NEAR,
THERE IS ONE THING CLEAR…
WITH THIS ONE DANCE
ROMANCE WILL MAKE ITS DEBUT
FOR I CAN FEEL HIS HEAT SWEEP ME OFF MY FEET
AND IN ONE DANCE
WILL BE ONE DANCE FOR TWO.
GENTLY HE TAKES ME AND LEADS ME AWAY.
BODIES ALIGN AND WE TWIRL AND WE SWAY.
SLOWLY, THE EV’NING DISSOLVES INTO DAY.
HE LEANS IN TO SAY:
“ON A NIGHT LIKE THIS,
MAY I HAVE ONE KISS?”
AND IN OUR ONE DANCE
HE GRANTS ME POWER TO FORGIVE.
ALL OF MY PAIN IS PAST, I’M ALIVE AT LAST.
I NEED ONE DANCE
GIVE ME ONE CHANCE
TO LIVE. TO LIVE. TO LIVE!
