She's a mother now
Two children living in a small town (small town)
The big city broke her heart and her dreams, it seems
So, she cries sometimes when she thinks about those days
Oh-oh-oh-oh
With no name in lights is a pain that still remains

Ballerina, don't stop dancing now
It's never too late, it's never too late
Ballerina, take some chances now
The world is your stage, the world is your stage
Still got it in you, still got it in you
Still got it now, oh
Ballerina, don't stop dancing now
Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop
Dust covers up the worn-in slippers she used to love
She thought it was her last plié, yeah
(Thought it was her last plié)
There's a star inside waiting for the chance to shine
(Waiting for the chance)
But the shadows from her past has dimmed her light (ah-ah)
Ballerina, don't stop dancing now
It's never too late, it's never too late
Ballerina, take some chances now
The world is your stage, the world is your stage
Still got it in you, still got it in you
Still got it now, oh
Ballerina, don't stop dancing now
Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop
