Make Body Want
Girl Hips Girl Feet Girl Ground
Girl moving now
I dance to disappear I dance to know I'm here
I dance 'Cause I'm *** 'Cause it's holy
'Cause I want to forget
I dance because everything is possible
I dance 'cause it gets me high
'cause it's the one thing you can't take away
I dance 'cause it keeps me separate from everyone else's
opinions and ideas
I dance 'cause I'm bleeding bleeding becoming
I dance 'cause I can touch the music
I dance to the drums of the forests and rivers
I dance to the beat of the cicadas I dance to traffic
to the crowds to the silence
I dance to the end of unkindness
I dance past the killing fields
I dance past Wounded Knee
and Holocaust tattoos
I dance past inflicted identities and demeaning looks
I dance past the limited determination of my abilities and worth
I dance past your lustful eyes
and dirty interpretations of my teenage body
I shake off the burquas and bindings and corsets and diets
I shake off restrictions and illegitimate rules
I shake off your suffocating warnings
I dance to the heartbeat of life
I dance because girls are the ultimate survivors
