Once, my heart and mind swirled in darkness
But even there, a whisper of light shone.
I watched in wonder as what was dead came to life.
My feet leapt into dance, as I saw beauty all around me,
No longer far away,
No longer alone, hidden in shadows. 
Now, my soul twirls in faith, hope, and peace.
As I believe.
 
Life can be loud, bringing chaos, 
But when I dance, everything around me quiets, calms.
When I step into the destiny I was mad for, beauty surrounds. 
And my soul begins to twirl in faith, hope, and love.
As I believe.
