When you feel alone, feeling left behind
Sick and tired of feeling sick and tired
Nothing's going right, you wanna hit reset
You wanna crawl yourself back into bed
Just look up
Set your mind on things above
Remembering you're loved
Oh, you'll never see anything the same
That's why I dance like Fred Astaire
Although I got no rhythm
That's why I sing no matter where
I got a reason for living
Got a grace, got a grace that saves
I got joy, I got joy for days
That's why I dance like Fred Astaire
That's why
Are you feeling low? Feeling kinda down?
Picking up your heart off of the ground?
Check under the hood, take a look inside
Remember who you are and what you got
Just look up
Set your mind on things above
Remembering you're loved
'Cause you'll never see anything the same
That's why I dance like Fred Astaire
Although I got no rhythm
That's why I sing no matter where
I got a reason for living
Got a grace, got a grace that saves
I got joy, I got joy for days
That's why I dance like Fred Astaire
That's why
Ladies and gentlemen, a little hands up
You know the guy that smiles a little too much
So much joy it's a little annoying
Well, that's me
Life is hard, can we all agree?
Why make it harder than it has to be?
And who's ever heard of any worry if you've seen anything?
That's why I dance like Fred Astaire
Although I got no rhythm
That's why I sing no matter where
I got a reason for living
Got a grace, got a grace that saves
I got joy, I got joy for days
That's why I dance like Fred Astaire
That's why
That's why
That's why
That's why I dance, yeah
