Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, we heard the news
That someone's cryin' the blues
'Cause words still go unsaid
As hungry minds are never fed
[Verse 2]
Take a chance as you dance in romance, in a trance
To advance and expand, got a dime and a rhyme
Brilliant mind, still inclined
In your prime to design
[Verse 3]
For man's great strength to meet
Another trembling harsh defeat
Is read between the lines
When change of mind is hard to find
[Verse 4]
Oh, the blossoms that you reap
From binding challenges complete
And wisdom's gentle rain
Immensely grows the brain
[Verse 5]
Take a chance as you dance in romance, in a trance
To advance and expand, movin' soon
Upper room, paid your dues
'Cause you're through feelin' blue
[Verse 6]
Take a chance as you dance in romance, in a trance
To advance and expand, got a dime and a rhyme
Brilliant mind, still inclined
In your prime to design
Movin' soon, upper room
Paid your dues 'cause you're through feelin' blue
