Verse 1:
Raised with a Bible in your hand
You met your parents' strict demands
But now that sweet religious child
Is like a hurricane gone wild
Chorus:
And you're dancing
Dancing with danger
Lies from a stranger
Waltz inside your head
(oh) you've got your back to
The one who really loves you
But you can't stop because you
Can't see what's ahead
Verse 2:
No liquor and no cigarettes
Are rules you're learning to forget
But it's not so much the outward part
'cause God is looking at your heart
Repeat chorus
Instrumental
Verse 3:
You've danced yourself out on a ledge
Your dreams are falling off the edge
God never wanted it that way
He wants to shake your fears away
Repeat chorus (twice)
