Lyrics
Learning to dance again
This time taking it slow
Watching the past slide
Watching the past go
We take our maiden steps
Shuffle along and glide
Learning to dance again
We let the music guide
Oh
From solo to paso doble
Ooh
Feelin’ the one drop, just we two
Do the rub-a-dub
Try the Jamaican two
Hold each other’s hips
And feel the slippery groove
It’s Marley and Tex and Brown
That grease the wheels and moves
And Chaka says we can
Taste the sweet and new
Oh...
Navigate
The landscape -
The soundtrack to our
faltering starts.
Gently cajoul,
With beauty and soul,
This evolution that fused our hearts.
Rhythm rises up
From forces overlooked
The always there laid bare
In the pages of our book
But questions fall away
And the pondering can cease
As we feel the pulse and sway,
Reveal the sweet release
Oh...
