She's a mother now
Two children living in a small town
The big city broke her heart and her dreams
It seems

So she cries sometimes
when she thinks about those days
Oh oh oh oh
With no name in lights is a pain that still remains

Ballerina don't stop dancing now
It's never too late
It's never too late
Ballerina take some chances now
The world is your stage
The world is your stage

You still got it in you
You, still got it in you
You, still got it now
Oh oh oh oh

Ballerina don't stop dancing now
Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop

Dust covers up
The worn-in slippers she used to love
She thought it was her last plié
(She thought it was her last plié)

There's a star inside waiting
for the chance to shine
(Waiting for the chance)
But the shadows
from her past has dimmed her light
Ah ah ah ah

Ballerina don't stop dancing now
It's never too late
It's never too late
Ballerina take some chances now
The world is your stage
The world is your stage

You still got it in you
You, still got it in you
You, still got it now
Oh oh oh oh

Ballerina don't stop dancing now
Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop

So she cries sometimes
when she thinks about those days
With no name in lights is a pain that still remains

Ballerina don't stop dancing now
It's never too late
It's never too late
Ballerina take some chances now
The world is your stage
The world is your stage

You still got it
You still got it
You still got it now
Oh oh oh oh

Ballerina don't stop dancing now
