Old Dancing Shoes

Old Dancing Shoes

Pack Pack Pack

Don't stop

Till the packins done

I used to think

This was so much 

Fun fun fun

My life was like

A stack of boxes

Endless stuff

A hidden world of paradoxes

Haven't you heard

The news 

All you need 

Is an old pair

Of dancing shoes

It's time too

Shake those packin blues

Kick that cardboard 

To the curb

Get up

Off your tuffet 

Skip the whey

And toss the curd

Too much stuff

Weighing me down

It's so absurd

It's time to grab

Those Dancing shoes

And move beyond 

Those cardboard cubes

When I was young 

I lived for love

I lived for fun

Playing here 

And playing there

A world free of care

Until the day 

I lived my life

For a world 

Of endless ware

Gone gone gone 

Went all the

Innocence and fun

And the love I new

A world of warmth 

had all gone numb

Haven't you heard

The news 

All you need

Is an old pair

Of dancing shoes 

Let it go

Let it go

Renew your love

Unbox the hate

Be the one 

You choose to be

Free yourself

It not to late
