Song Lyrics

let your head spin to the beat
and send it right down to your feet
let your body lose control
until you feel it shake your soul
no competition just waves
no overthinking just sway


put on your dancing shoes
come on get in the mood
stop all the fussing and the fighting
forget everything you knew
get on the floor
cause there is so much more
the night belongs to you
so shake off your blues

put on your dancing shoes
now go and make a move
just whirl and leap and spin and vibrate
go on bang and sing and groove
get on the floor
like never before
the night belongs to you
so shake off your blues



hop, lock, pop, rock,
strut, shift, step, stomp,
tap, tilt, twist, twitch,
spin, swing, skip, split,
bend, bow, flex, fly,
jerk, jam, jump, jive,
nothing on your mind just grind
nothing at stake just shake

light that hidden fire which is so hard to find
let it guide you and delight you
trust that madness inside
under the moon under the sun
let your voice ring in the air
rest your soul in equipoise
suspend yourself in space

CHORUS

when the night gives way to dawn
keep those dancing shoes on
when a purple dust conquers the skyline
we'll be silhouettes in the twilight - shine bright

surrender to these fleeting movements
ancient, sacred, deeply human
dance to remember, dance to forget
find yourself, now lose yourself
are you the dancer or the dance
turn your ailing into lightness
fly beyond your horizon

CHORUS

Mariama Jalloh
