In our cold and empty house
I lingered now for far too long
I vainly held the rosary
To pray you'd stay with me a while
But nothing seems to keep me here
The way it used to do before
This time it's me that's leaving you
I'll never turn around
Cause when the laughter's gone
I know I must be moving on
And I will dance when I walk away
Oh, I'm gonna sing
I won't beg or pray
I will dance when I walk away
Oh, I'm gonna sing
I won't beg or pray
No more
I'm standing at the crossroads now
The fields of opportunity
I'm ready to go anywhere
I'm full of hope and full of fear
And bridges back have all been burned
And freedom has been duly earned
I'll remember why I've gone
Remember where I'm coming from
Oh, when the laughter's gone,
uuhuu
I know I must be moving on
And I will dance when I walk away
Oh, I'm gonna sing
I won't beg or pray
I will dance when I walk away
Oh, I'm gonna sing
I won't beg or pray
oh oh
And now I leave my mask with you
The part I played I never knew
(Tonight) Tonight you're alone
And I will dance when I walk away
Oh, I'm gonna sing
I won't beg or pray
I will dance when I walk away
Oh, I'm gonna sing
I won't beg or pray
And I will dance when I walk away
Oh, I'm gonna sing
I won't beg or pray
I will dance when I walk away
Oh, I'm gonna sing
I won't beg or pray
I will dance when I walk away
Oh, I'm gonna sing
I won't beg or pray
I will dance when I walk away
Oh, I'm gonna sing
I won't beg or pray
No more
