Lyrics

[Intro]
Fly away, my heart, don't despair
The world is full of joy
You cry, you smile, then you dance
Even though sometimes it's a drag
To toil without a gain
You cry, you smile, then you dance
[Verse 1]
Celebrating life is real
But not without a cry
Celebrating life is good
But not without a smile
Celebrating life is sweet
But not without a dance
Celebrating life with you
With everything it brings
[Verse 2]
Won't you fly away, my heart? Don't despair
The world is full of joy
You cry, you smile, then you dance
North, East, South, West, I can see
People of the world
They cry, they smile, then they dance
[Verse 3]
Celebrating life is real
But not without a cry
Celebrating life is sweet
But not without a smile
Celebrating life is good
But not without a dance
Celebrating life with you
With everything it brings
[Verse 4]
Fly away, my heart
The world is full of joy, hey
Won't you cry? Then you dance, then you smile
The world is full of happiness
[Outro]
So why don't you cry and smile, and dance?
So why? Why?
So why?
So why, so why don't you?
But why don't you?
Why? Why not dance?
