Analysis of Have to Dance
when sounds caress my senses
my whole body comes alive
have to move
have to dance
in rhythmic waves I have to dive
a loud guitar cleans both my ears
the drums do pound my stressed beat
freed my head of silly tears
right back on my sore feet
rhythms soothe my tired veins
my heart is strong and keeps on pumping
have to move
have to dance
I can’t help but freely jumping
restlessness just comes at ease
no more trouble’s on my mind
rhythm oils my rigid knees
life does seem so kind
dancing calms my fed up brain
no more feeling sad
have to move
have to dance
music makes me glad
