Momma, I will make you proud of me
Momma Im gonna dance on stage
Momma I will be in the spotlight
Its my turn now, I can follow directions
Gracefully I walk out on stage, ready to start
Momma i cant see you the lights hurt my eyes
Momma did you remember, i wrote it down for you
You promised to come, you promised
Momma im on stage now, do you like my costume
its light blue your favorite color, i picked it especially for you
My feet are pointed, my back is straight
I smile as my body flys with the music
Oh no my legs are shaking, why am i scared
I fall to the floor, crying out more in surprise than pain
Tears fill my eyes, i can see you momma
my music plays on without me
Oh momma i am so sorry, i wanted you to be proud of me
My head lowers in shame, my smile is wavering
The lights arent so bright anymore momma, please dont go
My tears fall freely, as i watch you walk out the door
not looking at me
i finish my dance, waiting for your return
The music stops, the applause fills my ears
Momma i finished my dance, I danced for you
The lights are out momma, i am waiting for you
Momma you didnt see.....
Momma you didnt see I finished my dance
