Graceful Swan

I was lonely, I was hurt, my bones grew old from pains

My voice was silenced, and I couldn't move I was in chains

But then my daughter showed a ballet dance, I heard a voice

It came from heaven, said 'get up danseur', I had no choice

CHORUS

I bend, I bend, I bend like a graceful swan

Its meant to mend my body at the face of dawn

I bend, I bend, I bend like a graceful swan

I bend, I bend

And then I got down on my knees

I said 'Oh no, Lord please,'

I cannot move a muscle, I can't walk, I'm 'bout to freeze'

But then He moved me out and in

I moved outside my skin

Not sure on how this ends, or how to bend or to begin

CHORUS

Battement e Tendu, arabesque, temps levé

Port de Bras e plié

Relevee, time to pray

Battement e Tendu, arabesque, temps levé

Port de Bras e plié

Relevee, time to pray

Now I'm still learning how to rise, to spread my wings at night

Sometimes It's black inside my head

But I dance into the light

I don't feel lonely, I feel heard, and even though it's strange

My voice is silenced, I'm moved with tears, it's time to change

CHORUS
