Remember when I heard it, when I first got the news
Was a crisp November day, I'd forgotten 'bout the blues
Doctor called me up; said my test results were in
Cancer was the worst of all the places I had been
I needed all my family, called upon my friends
They helped to pull me up, told me this was not the end
Had no man beside me, but I gathered all my strength
I knew I would defeat it; I would go to any length
Sometimes when you have to, you can summon all you've got
You can pull it all together; have to give it your best shot
To help get you through you must rejuvenate your soul
You look life in the face and you say "Let's Roll"
I do a soul dance, to strengthen my soul
Take a big chance, and make it my goal
Do a soul dance, look bad news in the eye
It's your best chance; you can fight back if you try
When you're feelin' down, and just can't shake the blues
When it's all that you can take, you've got nothin' more to loose
You'll know it when you see me; with that smile upon my face
C'mon, you can join me; we'll put bad luck in its place
We'll do the soul dance; we'll look evil in the eye
Fight like you're in trance; you can make it if you try
Do a soul dance; it comes from your heart
Take a firm stance and make a new start
Sometimes hard to rearrange, got to break through; go for a change
When you look back on all you dread, toughest fight was the one in your head
Are you ready to do a soul dance?
You do a soul dance, look bad news in the eye
It's your best chance; raise your spirit to the sky
Do a soul dance, come in from the cold
Take a big chance, got to make it your goal
