The world is dancing

CHILD: Mommy, will the world die?

MOM:

No, honey, it's...

It's alive

As we are

And we will be

Now, can't you see?

Honey, honey, don't be afraid

Honey, honey, don't be frightened

Honey, honey, aren't you excited?

The world is ready to play

Honey, honey, it's nothing serious

Honey, honey, it's nothing to fear

Honey, honey, don't be delirious

The world isn't serious either, my dear

Honey, honey, it's nothing but a game

Honey, honey, don't you quiver

Honey, honey, while you're shake and shiver

Our world now does the same

The world is happy like you, my dear

The world is young like you, my dear

The world is wild, a child and bold

It has to live before it's old

The world is like you on a sunny day

The world went out, outside to play

The world is crazy and fully entrancing

The world is playing

The world is dancing

CHILD:

The world is playing

The world is dancing

MOM:

Yes, it is!

Honey, honey, let's greet the new world

Honey, honey, we have a new friend

Honey, honey, this is no end

And if it was, we're safe and furled

CHILD:

Mommy, mommy, is that really true?

Mommy, mommy, I feel the earthquake

Mommy, mommy, better come quick

I don't like this something new

MOM:

No, honey, no, honey, we're not in danger

No, honey, no, honey, the world is not bad

No, honey, no, honey

Don't be sad, but instead

Rejoice, 'cause we have no choice

The world is no stranger for us

It's not time to die

It is time to fly

To be twirled and swirled

Honey, dance with the world

CHILD:

Dance with the world

MOM:

Dance with the world

CHILD:

Dance with the world

The world is happy like me, mommy

The world is little like me, mommy

The world isn't doing what it's been told

But it has to live before it's old

MOM:

You have to live before you're old

CHILD:

The world is like me on a happy day

The world went into our house to play

But it's okay

The world is meanie and bouncing around

The world is dancing inside the ground

MOM:

The world is beautiful and entrancing

The world is playing

The world is dancing

CHILD:

The world is playing

The world is dancing

MOM:

I know this is just a start

Break the rules and not your heart

You are my diamond and my gold

Please, just live until you're old
