Dance of death

I look to them
they look to me
they help me up
and I go on

more happy
more loving
I'm doing this for me
I'm doing this for the people who love me

the crowd 
confused
some happy
some mad

they wanted to laugh
but I blocked them out
I don't deal with them
I don't need them

I turn
to find my partner
he smiles
we dance

we turn
we waltz
we love
we live

but when his time is over
he leaves
for my solo
everyone has left

it's only me
I'm alone
but I'm happy
I'm fulfilled 

the music slows
I look up
thinking of everyone
and everything I loved

one last turn
I leave
some of the crowd claps careless
while the other cry

they knew me
they loved me
the miss me
they mourn

I meet backstage 
with my loved ones
they smile
I smile

we're all finally happy
we're free
we're together
we're home again...
