[Verse 1]
She's a mother now
Two children, livin' in a small town
The big city broke her heart and her dreams
It seems

[Pre-Chorus]
So she cries sometimes when she thinks about those days, oh
With no name in lights is a pain that still remains

[Chorus]
Ballerina, don't stop dancin' 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
You still got it, you still got it
You still got it now, oh
Ballerina, don't stop dancin' now
Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop

[Verse 2]
Dust covers up
The worn-in slippers she used to love
She thought it was her last plié, eh (She thought it was her last plié)

[Pre-Chorus]
There's a star inside, waitin' for the chance to shine (Waitin' for the chance)
But the shadows from her past has dimmed her light (Ah)
[Chorus]
Ballerina, don't stop dancin' 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
You still got it, you still got it
You still got it now, oh
Ballerina, don't stop dancin' now
Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
So she cries sometimes when she thinks about those days
With no name in lights is a pain that still remains

[Chorus]
Ballerina, don't stop dancin' 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
You still got it (Still got it), you still got it
You still got it now (Oh)
Ballerina, don't stop dancin' now
