When you dance

You run and you run
And get nowhere at all.
You turn and you turn 
And keep turning in circles.
You run into walls
You're constantly at the end
And you ask yourself how one would find it
If you forgot yourself for once.
You secretly wish
That everything would soon become much easier
But you'd rather keep up appearances
Instead of being yourself for once.
You feel crushed by everything
By this world that surrounds you
What we see is only a façade
Not the person hiding behind it.
You're a control freak in a situation
That you cannot control
That situation is called life
And only becomes easier when you dance.
When you shake off worries and problems 
Like rain from yourself
Wash them away and let them go
Don't let them get too close to you
Let your feelings run free
And let everything out
That weighs you down
Loosen the chains
And stop caring
Whether you break society's rules.
Because rules are just words
Set up by people like you and me
If we're not careful we have to watch
How we lose ourselves in them.
Of course not in every matter
There are rules that are important 
For all of us to live together 
Without them we would be completely blind.
But you have to distinguish:
I am me and you are you
And we are good just as we are.
Can do and leave what we want 
As long as we don't harm anyone
Because only then do we find our roles.
In this world – 
Where tolerance is written in capital letters
And should be sprayed on every wall
Instead of making excuses, taking the easy way out 
And saying you're just disturbed by everything.
Because we are all control freaks in situations
That we cannot control
These situations are called life
And only become easier when you dance.
When you shake off worries and problems 
Like rain from yourself
Wash them away and let them go
Don't let them get too close to you
Let your feelings run free
And let everything out
That weighs you down
Loosen the chains 
And stop caring 
Whether you break society's rules. 
But there's too much going on in these streets
And in your head too
You're not a machine
You can't be charged
Like some battery.
No. You need time for yourself
And what you love
For the people
With whom you
Surround yourself every day.
Time to feel
Time to laugh
Time to do pointless things for no reason
Time to do
Time to think
Time to steer your life yourself.
Time to shake off worries and problems 
Like rain from yourself
Simply wash them away and let them go
Don't let them get too close to you
Let your feelings run free
And let everything out
That weighs you down
Loosen the chains
And tell yourself that it doesn't matter
To break the rules sometimes.
Your heartbeat becomes the beat
Of a song that you live
Your pulse becomes the beat
To which you move
Your thoughts form their
Very own melody
You have so many of them 
I think that's enough
For a whole symphony. 
You are creating your personal life song right now.
