Dancing On The Ceiling
Sela
You know sometimes I sit and wonder
Just how this world would be
If we had all the people laughing
And everybody living in harmony
We'd have to say sela sela
Talking to the people sela, sela


There would be no more living in desperation
And no more hatred and deceit
Tell me, can you imagine
All the children playing
And everyone dancing in the street
We say sela, sela
Talking to yourself sela, sela


You play it for the people
Yeah, for the people
It's time for everyone
To come together
I know it's hard
But this dream must come to light on
Because tonight should be
One big celebration
I'm talking to you now
Only we can make things right


We say sela, sela, sela, sela baby
Talk about, sing about, talk about sela
Talk about sela
Oh the children
Tell me about the children
We've got to help them now to survive
Well, one world
One heart is our salvation
Let us keep the dream alive


We say sela, sela, sela
I know sela, I know sela, sela, sela ...


Ballerina Girl
Ballerina girl, you are so lovely
with you standing there, I'm so aware
of how much I care for you
you are more than now
you are for always
I can see in you
my dreams come true
Don't you ever go away


You make me feel like
there's nothing I can't do
and when I hold you
I only want to say I love you


Ballerina girl, the joy you bring me
every day and night
holding you tight
how I've waited for your love
sometimes I've wondered if you'd ever come my way
now that I've finally found you
this is where my heart will stay


I, I'm never gonna break you heart
never will we drift apart
cause all I want to do is share my whole life with you
you make me feel like
there's nothing I can't do
I guess I finally realized
there's nothing else like loving you


Ballerina girl, you are so lovely
I can see in you my dreams come true
don't you ever go away
Ballerina Girl
