Sunrise over sienna hilltops
A breeze of a conga freeze
Serenades the sky with lyrics
Of dance

Rhythm runs through a blood
line of life teaching me to dance
when the world has closed their
arms to my arising

Teach me to dance when 
I can no longer face rejection
and my self esteem has meet its
demise

Melodies from heaven cascade
my way surrounding my soul with
piano cries of notes filled with
doe ray me

Teach me to dance be a light of my
foot steps as I seek my way destined
to great things despite the adversaries

Teach me to dance letting me move to
the rhythms of the world a Shaka Zulu
dance of praise as I lift my head and
hands to the creator who has taught 
me of my purpose

Teach me to dance when I fail giving
me the courage through music to rise
again to dance when there is no joy 
and tears have fallen once again

To dance when life has arisen from
a grave of despair and when laughter
can finally grace my cheeks for life
I can now live because pain has taught me
through the sounds I hear and the 
movement of my soul I no longer fear
Teach me!
