I've Got To Dance To Keep From Crying...

Little Ballerina.

by rhonnie69

"If our world lives on planet earth, and you are a prudent child.
You see things like I do...they're crazy...they're wild.

You're young, still growing. A kid just like me.
I don't want to grow up to be what I see.

We learn what we live. Then we live what we learn.
At this rate the out come; our world's going to burn.

But there's a solution to the pollution for me and you.
We all have dreams, and dreams do come true.

If I could choose the dreams that I dream.
I'd dream that I was a tree planted and tended, by a river stream.

I'd dream of my purpose. I'd dream of my reason.
I'd know that I was able to bring forth my fruit in its due season.

I'd dream that my leaves would never wither nor fade.
And our world would delight in the fruit that I have made.

All nations would join me, and help me sow seed.
Together we'd produce a harvest that would meet every need.

And in all we endeavor, we'd surely succeed.

Then I wouldn't have to dance, because I was sad.
I'd go dancing and prancing because I was glad."
