Listening to the Footloose Soundtrack

Reader, I think you should dance.
You've got it good, Baby.
Further more, you got you.

You're the one whose gonna have to get through this, 'cause I'm not going to be able to help much. Like Moma always said, you stand alone on Judgement Day.

So it'll be best when that day comes that you can stand on your own two feet. I know you can do it, just because, well, you're going to have to.

And if I didn't think you could do it, I wouldn't have left you alone. Who holds up birds? Nobody. Birds gots wings. So fly, Baby, fly.

I know you're looking now, over your shoulder, but it's not gonna happen. You have to press forward, and fuck that baby step shit, 'cause we don't have time. Stride, stride, this is yours now, stride. Into the fire now, into the burning and into the pain. Breathe it in and let it sear inside, exhale the fury, exhale.

It's right there and it knows you're there and you show it a fear that it didn't know. This is an ancient and you envelope it with the forgotten. And it's like you can count each strand of hair. This is you and you're filling up your insides like never before. This is a sound that is only in dreams and, waiter, make that nightmares. Not to be replicated in this realm and not the be remembered by noon.

Drink the water and get past the fire, you did it, you did it. The worst is ahead and now the worst is scared of you. Welcome to the Leagues of the Badassery. Your weapon is skill and your power is might. Crush them all and when the time comes stand and stand and stand. You earned this and you deserve what's coming no matter how them cards fall. There in the glimmer they'll say you stood and that's more than they said for the others.

They'll make masks in your image and the children will weep. They will hang things over the doors that keep you out and warn the others. They'll beckon you in whispers and you will not come. You made that walk and you know they'll have to do the same but can't. This is what they meant in the beginning.
