Take A Leap Of Faith

♫ ¸¸.•*¨*•. .•*¨*•.¸¸ ♫

Don't fall prey to nerves, be confident.

Keep your shoulders back, your head high

Despite the whispers and weighted judgement.

Just inhale exhale, breathe...

Don't cry ♫

Her beaming face is in the crowd

Look at her and smile ♫

Don't let your heart cloud with doubt

You knew getting here would take a while

Months and months you practiced,

And there she was cheering for you,

At times you lost your will, but the fact is,

You have to finish what you set out to do.

They're all staring, all eyes are on you.

Picture them all wearing pink tutus,

Picture them all wearing pink tutus.

Close your eyes.... count to 3, 1... 2...

3... First position,

Remember, you are as weightless as air.

Second position....

Now dance

The melody is lifting, carrying, laying you bare.

Let the beauty of music and dance...

Take you there.

Let it put you in a trance...

Breathe it, feel it...

Everywhere.

It's just you now, just you and the music.

....It's your cue now, ♫

Time for you to take that talent and use it

Take a leap of faith, give them a show

Land gracefully, and don't make a sound

Your feet are feathers scattered all around

Now it is time to take your graceful bow...

As a hush settles over the crowd...
