THE PRAYER

 

Lord, give me grace and dancing feet

And the power to impress

Lord, give me grace and dancing feet

Let me outshine them all

 

Is it so wrong to crave recognition?

Second best, runner-up

Is it so wrong to want rewarding?

To want more than is given to you?

Than is given to you?

 

Tonight make me unstoppable

And I will charm, I will slice

I will dazzle them with my wit

Tonight make me unstoppable

And I will charm, I will slice

I will dazzle

I will outshine them all

 

Standing on the packed dance floor

Our bodies throb in time

Silent on the weekdays

Tonight I claim what's mine

 

Is it so wrong to crave recognition?

Second best, runner-up

Is it so wrong to want rewarding?

To want more than is given to you?

Than is given to you?

 

Tonight make me unstoppable

And I will charm, I will slice

I will dazzle them with my wit

Tonight make me unstoppable

And I will charm, I will slice

I will dazzle

I will outshine them all

 

Oh, oh, oh, oh

 

Tonight make me unstoppable

And I will charm, I will slice

I will dazzle them with my wit

Tonight make me unstoppable

And I will charm, I will slice

I will dazzle

I will outshine them all
