Cygnus (swan)

Lyrics by Tiffany Ravensong©️ Credits: Suno, Band Lab, Bazaart, Runway, Midjourney, Unsplash and CapCut Cygnus I awake to the mornings soft glow Sunlight drifts in like a vibrant halo Been years since I put these dancing shoes on Life gets in the way, and then you just move on But something’s calling me back to the glittery stage Back in my day I was all the rage Two children and a husband later I fell off that pedestal yeah I did falter I suppose that’s the price for loving and caring You nurture everyone and lose yourself in the sharing But not today, I’m going to evoke the beautiful swan Gonna get up on my feet and put the dancing shoes on! [chorus] Beautiful swan Lend me your grace Teach me to be strong Yet exquisite like lace Beautiful Cygnus Up in the sky You are so gorgeous A dream to the eye Let me be like you today One last time, for old times sake I danced and danced until I wanted to drop But something was calling me I didn’t want it to stop The grace, the perfection, elegant lines I was dancing swan lake my moves were sublime I felt my old self, the one before life captured me I was freed from the bonds, freed from captivity Elegant swans took over my soul I was no longer who I’d been, I was no longer old [bridge] I drifted and glided across the cold stage My breath created mist as I exhaled I danced with my heart and spirit of swan I danced the dance with fury, for it was my last one [solo] [chorus] Beautiful swan Lend me your grace Teach me to be strong Yet exquisite like lace Beautiful Cygnus Up in the sky You are so gorgeous A dream to the eye Let me be like you today One last time, for old times sake [outro] These bones are now brittle I’m weathered with age But time halted for me Up there on that stage Swan’s spirit came to me, I’d waited so long One final dance with destiny, my signature Swan Song #swans #ballet #ballerina #dance #classicalmusic
