She's a mother now
 
 Two children living in a small town
 
 The big city broke her heart and her dreams
 
 It seems
 
  
  So she cries sometimes when she thinks about those days
 
 Oh oh oh oh
 
 With no name in lights is a pain that still remains
  
 
 Ballerina don't stop dancing now
 
 It's never too late
 
 It's never too late
 
 Ballerina take some chances now
 
 The world is your stage
 
 The world is your stage
  
 
 You still got it in you
 
 You, still got it in you
 
 You, still got it now
 
 Oh oh oh oh
  
 
 Ballerina don't stop dancing now
 
 Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop
  
 
 Dust covers up
 
 The worn-in slippers she used to love
 
 She thought it was her last plié
 
 (She thought it was her last plié)
  
 
 There's a star inside waiting for the chance to shine
 
 (Waiting for the chance)
 
 But the shadows from her past has dimmed her light
 
 Ah ah ah ah
  
 
 Ballerina don't stop dancing now
 
 It's never too late
 
 It's never too late
 
 Ballerina take some chances now
 
 The world is your stage
 
 The world is your stage
  
 
 You still got it in you
 
 You, still got it in you
 
 You, still got it now
 
 Oh oh oh oh
  
 
 Ballerina don't stop dancing now
 
 Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop
  
 
 So she cries sometimes when she thinks about those days
 
 With no name in lights is a pain that still remains
  
 
 Ballerina don't stop dancing now
 
 It's never too late
 
 It's never too late
 
 Ballerina take some chances now
 
 The world is your stage
 
 The world is your stage
  
 
 You still got it
 
 You still got it
 
 You still got it now
 
 Oh oh oh oh
  
 
 Ballerina don't stop dancing now
