Intro:

One, two, three, four

Verse 1:

Hey, look me in the eye

Can you see what’s inside

I don’t know if I’m right for trying to hide

I see, the things I can achieve

And what I strive to be

I know that all I need is to believe

Pre-chorus:

Standing on the dance floor

I move to the music and everything fades away

The center of attention

I’m confident and I’m shaking my past away

Chorus:

Cuz now I got to let go

Time to put on a show

Give them all that I know

Like it's the end of the road, the road

Said you can’t but you can, now just trust in me

Won't look back, so just don’t, let me fall

Cuz now I got to let go, oh

Time to put on a show (a show, a show, a show)

Verse 2:

I hear, blood rushing through my veins

The beat that drowns my pains

I wanna be where all my daydreams lie

I feel, like riding through the waves

My body never caves

I’m in control of me that is the key 

Bridge:

Ohhhhhhhhhh

Did you, think that I, would just hide

But i’ll find, the light, through the music, every time

Put On A Show talks about the importance of finding mental fortitude and strength in pursuing one’s hobbies. I wished to use this song to inspire my audience to continue exploring and furthering what they love without worrying about other people’s perceptions about them and their actions. This song is an ode to my love for both contemporary and ballet dance, two seemingly incohesive and dramatically different styles. I think that beyond using songwriting as a form of emotional and soul therapy (as I have illustrated in the song When My Words Travel), dance, being able to follow any sort of choreography, my own or the creation of others, or even being able to immerse in moments of improvisation, is another form of therapy and creative outlet and space that allows me to release myself from my expectation and burdens. 

Put On A Show describes the sense of freedom and enjoyment that I feel when dancing in the middle of a circle of people or on stage. The song describes the subtle yet mysteriously satisfying sensation of matching my movements to the music for my own enjoyment and for the entertainment of others in the audience.
