Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
In the shadows, in the background
Out of the sunlight
You are hiding, scared of showing
What you really look like
But all our scars
They make us who we are
Lose your shame
We see, you’ve come so far, so far
[Pre-Chorus]
And all this time
I’ve been by your side
[Chorus]
Dance like nobody’s watching
Nobody’s judging who you love
Scream like you won’t be silenced
Kill them with kindness and your love
From the stars and the dust
We were made, all of us
So let’s dance like nobody’s watching
Nobody’s watching us
[Verse 2]
Your desires, all those little whispers
Yearn to be realized
All the haters and liars can’t break us
We’re free on the inside
[Pre-Chorus]
And all this time
I’ve been by your side
[Chorus]
Dance like nobody’s watching
Nobody’s judging who you love
Scream like you won’t be silenced
Kill them with kindness and your love
From the stars and the dust
We were made, all of us
So let’s dance like nobody’s watching
Nobody’s watching us
[Bridge]
But all our scars
They make us who we are
Lose your shame
We see you’ve come so far
[Chorus]
Dance like nobody’s watching
Nobody’s judging who you love
Scream like you won’t be silenced
Kill them with kindness
Dance like nobody’s watching
Nobody’s judging who you love
Scream like you won’t be silenced
Kill them with kindness and your love
From the stars and the dust
We were made, all of us
So let’s dance like nobody’s watching
Nobody’s watching us
