Maybe you don't understand why I gotta dance
There was something had me down but it's over now
I'm a throw my hands up wave 'em all in the air
'Cause all I wanna do is dance, dance, dance

They told me you ain't good enough
Don't look good enough
Don't sing good enough
Maybe you should give it up
And if I would've then I never could've received
None of the things that He planned for me
So I waited a little longer
Grew a little stronger and then
I realized something was happening
It's so incredible, it's unexplainable
You oughta try Him for yourself and see because

Maybe you don't understand why I gotta dance
There was something had me down but it's over now
I'm a throw my hands up wave 'em all in the air
'Cause all I wanna do is dance, dance, dance

Sometimes I think about
How it used to be, and can't help but
Remembering how it was never easy for me, no, no
But the way God works, it's so amazing
He never forgot me, I can't forget Him
That's enough for me to lift my hands and
I'm sorry if you don't understand

Maybe you don't understand why I gotta dance
There was something had me down but it's over now
I'm a throw my hands up wave 'em all in the air
'Cause all I wanna do is dance, dance, dance

All my tears (it's over now)
And all my pain (it's over now)
All my doubts (it's over now)
They went away (it's over now)
No more fear (it's over now)
And I'm glad (it's over now)
Yes, so glad
'Cause all I wanna do is dance

Maybe you don't understand why I gotta dance
There was something had me down but it's over now
I'm a throw my hands up wave 'em all in the air
'Cause all I wanna do is dance, dance, dance
