A Dancer Is What I Am

I am a dancer, that's what I do,
I dance for love,
I dance for you.
I have delicacy in my fingers
As I dance along to the sound of the singers,
I prance, I dance, I spin, I win,
The crowd gasps as the lights go dim.
Dancing is a part of my life
Quitting is as painful as a stab from a knife,
As I take a bow the crowd goes wild
Because I'm a very talented child.
