In a cold and empty house 
I lingered now for far too long 
I vainly held a rosary 
To pray you'll stay with me a while 
But nothing seems to keep me here 
The way we used to do before 
This time it's me that's leaving you 
I'll never turn around 
'Cause when the laughter is gone 
I know I must be moving on 
And I will dance when I walk away 
Oh, I'm gonna sing 
I won't beg or pray 
I will dance when I walk away 
Oh, I'm gonna sing 
I won't beg or pray 
No more 
I'm standing at the crossroads now 
The fields of opportunity 
I'm ready to go anywhere 
I'm full of hope and full of fear 
And bridges is back have all been burned
And freedom has been duly earned 
I remember why I've gone 
Remember where I'm coming from 
Oh, when the laughter is gone 
Uh, I know I must be moving on 
And I will dance when I walk away 
Oh, I'm gonna sing 
I won't beg or pray 
I will dance when I walk away 
Oh, I'm gonna sing 
I won't beg or pray 
I'm gonna leave my mask with you
The part I played, I never knew
Tonight, you're alone
And I will dance when I walk away [x3]
Oh, I'm gonna sing 
I won't beg or pray 
I will dance when I walk away 
Oh, I'm gonna sing 
I won't beg or pray 
This is not a home for me
