One Step Closer

(spoken)
Who needs words?
Dancing beats small talk any day
It's the way your feet smile
Or laugh
It lets you say so many things

(sung)
Dancing is a language
That is felt instead of heard
You can whisper, sing or shout
Without so much as a word
Try it, go on, like so

Just let your emotions
Tell your body what to do
See how much a single gesture
Can reveal!

And every little step
Every single step
Is one step closer
To saying what you feel

Once the music hits you
Inhibitions fall away
And you find that you're expressing things
Your voice daren't say
Don't be afraid, let go!

Soon as you surrender
What's inside will sweep on through
As the boundaries
Between us disappear!

And every little step
Every single step
Is one step closer
To talking loud and clear

A dance is like a conversation
Except you never need to make a sound
And once you've begun
You speak as one
Give and take
Back and forth
Round and round

A dance is like a conversation
Except your lips don't ever need to part
And once you've begun
You speak as one
Cheek to cheek
Toe to toe
Heart to heart

Dancing is a language
That is felt instead of heard
But it says much more than
Language ever could

And every little step
Every single step
Is one step closer
One step closer
One step closer
To being understood
