Story Behind The Song

Travelling around and meeting loads of people - some have the spark many sadly do not. The more you travel , the more you see this. What holds people back? What is it that subdues and suppresses them?

Song Description

The song is basically about the craziness in the world and the loneliness of people leading lives that are not fulfilling and the fact that so many people do not know how to let go and enjoy life to the full.

Lyrics

The Dance
Verse 1
I've been to England and i've been to France
I've seen the way the pretty ladies dance
They shake their bodies and they feel OK
And that's what gets them through the day
And that's what gets them through the day

I've been around the world a time or two
I've seen the crazy things that people do
Half of the world their living in a trance
'Cause noone taught them how to do the dance
No noone taught them how to do the dance

Chorus
And it's not about the money that you make every day
Its not about the clever things that clever people say
It's not about the stuff that we do to survive
It's the way we do the dance of life
It's the way we do the dance of life

Come on and dance you gotta put on your dancing shoes
Come on and dance don't you know it's up to you
Come on and dance you've got to dance the night away
Come on and dance you know there's nothing left to say

Verse 2
Moenchengladbach lady turned my head around
Showed me how to dance as the sun went down
Showed me how to dance the night away
And keep on dancing through the day
And keep on dancing through the day

Sit drinking coffee by the firelight
Desert moon on a desert night
I see the starlight shining in your eyes
And I know that you could do the dance of life
Yes I know that you can do the dance of life

Chorus
