What I tried to say
In my month of May
When I was not of age
Can I join you up on stage
No one heard my call. Was that it - Was that all
My life inside a shroud, just another face in the crowd?
Call on me this time, pick me for your side
I can't skate but that won't ever stop me trying
Let me fall if I must fall, let me rise if I'm to rise
Just recognize that I am here - I'm trying, trying, trying
What I mean to say
(You're not listening anyway)
I should feel like I belong
Like I can stand and sing along
Hey, I can play that role, hey I can bare my soul
Slap me in the face or wrap me in your warm embrace
Let me l fail if I must fail, let me shine if I'm to shine
Just recognize that I am here and trying, trying, trying, trying
I'll Dance alone., I'll dance alone
Though it's a little like, 'I'm alright'
And it's a lot like, 'Oh, you know'
And they really should have told us it's the writing on the wall
And now September's gone and winter time has hit full on
I look across my bed, where she used to lay her head
The only one who understood the only one who thought I could
The only light to guide my way
And when our hair turned silver gray
Her memory failed and finally slipped away
And if she were here beside me she would say
Go dance alone, go dance alone
Though it's a little like, 'I'm alright'
And it's a lot like, 'Oh, you know'
And they really should have told us it's the writing on the wall
