Rip it Up by Ali Hollands

In through my feet and

Out through my fingers;

Energy flows, explodes

Scatter bombs of light and sound.

Pulse beats out

My heart marks time

Rhythm gains pace

And my body obeys.

The slave to the rhythm

The swing and the sway

The mood and the passion

I am music: Dance me free.
