[Verse 1]
She’s got holes in both her shoes
From walking through the past
Friends who promised golden skies
But left her in the ash
Love was just a paper flame
That melted in her hands
But still she moves like nothing broke
Like she already understands

[Chorus]
She dances anyway
On sidewalks soaked in gray
When the sun forgets to shine
She makes her own parade
With every step she takes
She keeps the dark at bay
They tried to stop the music
But she dances anyway

[Verse 2]
She hums to songs nobody hears
Her eyes are red, but brave
She’s learned that life is sometimes cruel
And kindness can betray
But there’s a fire in her feet
A rhythm in her soul
The world can crack around her
But it never takes control

[Chorus]
She dances anyway
On rooftops in the rain
When silence fills the hallway
She lets her heart explain
With every spin she makes
She floats above the pain
They called her foolish
But she dances anyway

[Bridge]
She’s not dancing for applause
No stage, no light, no show
She’s dancing ‘cause she knows
It’s the only way to grow

[Final Chorus]
So she dances anyway
In shadows and in flame
In lonely midnight kitchens
Or under stars with no name
She dances ‘cause she must
It’s how she finds her way
She could have fallen
But she dances anyway
