[Verse 1]
People it's time now, something's gotta change
People, we no longer can live in pain
We've got to find the truth
We've got to know where it is
'Cause we stand here together, fighting year after year
We're lost in our search
We've been longing to find
We can't hold back no longer
'Cause we're running out of time

[Chorus]
Dance for the world
Dance for the world
Gotta dance for the world
Dance for the world

[Verse 2]
People, my people
We've gone too far, it's time now
To find out just who we really are
Look no further to find who it is
The truth is inside you, it shines from within
I know you're weary, your hearts full of fear
I see the hope inside you, behind all the tears

[Chorus]
Dance for the world
Dance for the world
Dance for the world
Got to dance for the world

[Bridge]
If we could all just love one another
We would see there is nothing more important
Or greater than love for the people

[Outro]
I would dance for the world
I would sing for the world
I would pray for the world
People dance for the world
