Love on the dance floor

The dance floor is calling you move to the beat

You can hear the sounds pumping in the middle of the street

The music pulls you closer and it opens the door

Your body is moving to the beat on the dance floor

Chorus

Feel the beat

Hit the floor

Show your love on the dance floor

Hold on tight

Turn around

A long lost friend you have found

A gentle kiss

You’re on track

Feel her hands caress your back

Keep her close

Don’t let go

She’ll be the one don’t you know

The dance floor is filling the crowds are moving in

The moves you are performing are surely a sin

You look left, you look right, you look to the air

Your eyes meet the one and you can’t help but stare

The room becomes dark with the occasional light

Our bodies embrace and the kiss feels so right

People all around yet we feel all alone

My heart is racing like an unstoppable cyclone

Nan’s Ghost

I had a dream about you that I’ve never had before

You were walking towards me, pointing towards a closed door

Your smile was warm and I longed for your embrace

You wrapped your arms around me and I was in a happy place

You whispered in my ear and told me everything would be ok

Telling me you were with me every single day

Just to hear those words spoken filled my empty heart with love

I knew that everything would be ok, as you looked down from heaven above

I hope I dream about you again tonight, as I miss your loving smile

My wish is to be reunited with you but that won’t be for a while

I know I was only ten when you died but you left a whole in my heart

Our life together cut short, it was far too early for you to depart

I hope I’ve made you proud, as my journey has taken many directions

The mistakes that I’ve made, I’ve turned them into positive corrections

You last saw me as a loving boy and now I am a man

It’s sweet dreams for me tonight and I hope to see you later Nan

Somebody’s Child

I cried when I saw the picture flash upon the screen

A picture that should never ever have to be seen

A child lying lifeless, washed up upon the shore

Know one could have known what his life was like before

His parents unknown trying to escape from a war torn land

Something many of us will never understand

Desperately praying their child finds a new peaceful life

The husband shaking, consoling his devastated wife

An electric shock to the system meaning we all have to act

The world should unite to form a revolutionary pact

No more blaming immigrants and asylum seekers too

Pawns in a political game played by the political few

Goodbye little one you will have changed the human race

Unfortunately your precious life we can not replace

Sleep tight up there and look down from heaven above

The world stood still in mourning showering you with their love
