I’m a dancer
everyone thinks I’m the bad guy
I float above all of that
people will always think what they want
I glide above it
I rise and spin
my might a gossamer wind
that can lift everyone with me
my shoulders are wide
I will carry each of you
beyond the reach of gravity
if you will let me
I want to — I have no need
to do otherwise — it’s the script
that obscures this great strength —
what anchors me shall anchor you
all I want to do is
turn you within the dance
lift you into a star
