Practise every sundown
Cooped up in the basement
One hand at the barre
And the other on her waist and, mhm
Take a breath and demi plié
Lose herself and disappear, yeah

Some people were born to mend the broken
To fight in battles, to preach devotion
Some other they swim against the stream
Scared and unsure to follow their dreams but

She just wants to dance her heart out
With no hesitation, without any doubts
Dance a songless dance and her hands in the air
She’s making her way to be a ballerina
She’s not afraid to be hurt
With her prosthesis
She’s trying to spin around
Dance a soulful dance and say a little prayer
Cause life’s a bit harder for a ballerina

Oo-oo-oo-oo-oooh… Oo-oo-oo-oo-oooh…
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oooh… Oh…

Golden coloured tutu and
Worn out ballet shoes
She’s been there all alone
Since she just started out
Look around and take a chance, yeah
Dance like she won’t dance again, yeah

Some people were born to cure diseases
To guide believers, to strive for freedom
Some other they swim against the stream
Scared and unsure to follow their dreams but

She just wants to dance her heart out
With no hesitation, without any doubts
Dance a songless dance and her hands in the air

She’s making her way to be a ballerina
She’s not afraid to be hurt
With her prosthesis
She’s trying to spin around
Dance a soulful dance and say a little prayer
Cause life’s a bit harder for a ballerina

Oo-oo-oo-oo-oooh… Oo-oo-oo-oo-oooh…
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oooh… Oh…

Some people were born to mend the broken
To fight in battles, to cure diseases
To preach devotion, to guide believers
To be believers, and disbelievers
They strive for freedom, to dance… dance… dance… oh!

She just wants to dance her heart out
With no hesitation, without any doubts
Dance a songless dance and her hands in the air
She’s making her way to be a ballerina
She’s not afraid to be hurt
With her prosthesis
She’s trying to spin around
Dance a soulful dance and say a little prayer
Cause life’s a bit harder for a ballerina

She just wants to dance her heart out
With no hesitation, without any doubts
Dance a songless dance and her hands in the air
She’s making her way to be a ballerina
She’s not afraid to be hurt
With her prosthesis
She’s trying to spin around
Dance a soulful dance and say a little prayer
Cause life’s a bit harder for a ballerina

She’s just a ballerina
Just a ballerina
