Ellis Paul Martha Graham Lyrics

She was a smart girl, young girl, loved to dance
In fact she did it every time she had the chance
She learned the moves, like
Studied bale when she went to school
And she could pirouette, balance, she could jump and
spin and
But her soul felt lost, heart was lost
Like she was dancing inside of someone else's box
So she arched her back, felt to the floor
Cause that's what express the emotion more
Sometimes you gotta draw outside the line
Become the dance that's inside your mind

Gotta dance, like Martha dance,
Like Martha dance, like Martha dance
Dance, like Martha dance,
Like Martha dance, like Martha dance

And then the day came, Martha started the school
She taught the dancers how to dance beyond the rules World war 2, the great depression,
All could a part in her imagination
All the costumes, all the props
Were just another way to make the audience's heart stop
These actors, dancers, part of the play
And Martha dancecould feel the day
All the heartache, all the joy
Expressing the moves of these girls and boys
If you could dance your fear, would you take the
chance?
Cause that's how Martha chose to dance

Gotta dance, like Martha dance,
Like Martha dance, like Martha dance
Dance, like Martha dance,
Like Martha dance, like Martha dance

[Guitar solo]

Gotta dance, like Martha dance,
Like Martha dance, like Martha dance
Dance, like Martha dance,
Like Martha dance, like Martha dance.
