The world is dancing
CHILD: Mommy, will the world die?
MOM:
No, honey, it's...
It's alive
As we are
And we will be
Now, can't you see?
Honey, honey, don't be afraid
Honey, honey, don't be frightened
Honey, honey, aren't you excited?
The world is ready to play
Honey, honey, it's nothing serious
Honey, honey, it's nothing to fear
Honey, honey, don't be delirious
The world isn't serious either, my dear
Honey, honey, it's nothing but a game
Honey, honey, don't you quiver
Honey, honey, while you're shake and shiver
Our world now does the same
The world is happy like you, my dear
The world is young like you, my dear
The world is wild, a child and bold
It has to live before it's old
The world is like you on a sunny day
The world went out, outside to play
The world is crazy and fully entrancing
The world is playing
The world is dancing
CHILD:
The world is playing
The world is dancing
MOM:
Yes, it is!
Honey, honey, let's greet the new world
Honey, honey, we have a new friend
Honey, honey, this is no end
And if it was, we're safe and furled
CHILD:
Mommy, mommy, is that really true?
Mommy, mommy, I feel the earthquake
Mommy, mommy, better come quick
I don't like this something new
MOM:
No, honey, no, honey, we're not in danger
No, honey, no, honey, the world is not bad
No, honey, no, honey
Don't be sad, but instead
Rejoice, 'cause we have no choice
The world is no stranger for us
It's not time to die
It is time to fly
To be twirled and swirled
Honey, dance with the world
CHILD:
Dance with the world
MOM:
Dance with the world
CHILD:
Dance with the world
The world is happy like me, mommy
The world is little like me, mommy
The world isn't doing what it's been told
But it has to live before it's old
MOM:
You have to live before you're old
CHILD:
The world is like me on a happy day
The world went into our house to play
But it's okay
The world is meanie and bouncing around
The world is dancing inside the ground
MOM:
The world is beautiful and entrancing
The world is playing
The world is dancing
CHILD:
The world is playing
The world is dancing
MOM:
I know this is just a start
Break the rules and not your heart
You are my diamond and my gold
Please, just live until you're old
