And just like that she's here
The machine has brought Florence
she's suddenly here
ethereal like a fairy
caught in light
tiny, long red-haired wisp in a pink gossamer gown
other-worldly
her voice
that sound
rises and raises
the hair on your skin
and our blood in our bones
and our souls join in
the drummer pounds the beat
you have no choice but to get up on your feet
she's become something else
with that incredible sound
she asks where to put her love
but already knows
because she pours it all over the audience at her shows
we take it and hold it, double it to give
back to her
and she does it all over again
everyone is part of this happening
this thing
we're free
because shes weaved her magic when she started to sing
she's taken it all
we gladly left on the floor
but with another siren note and endless jump
in a dance fever gladly give her more
there's an extraordinary thing happening
a connection
pure love
it's something
you don't feel or see
nearly enough
the energy intensifies
as she spins and she jumps
she touches us all with her music
and even hugs some
there are no glittery dancers
or spinners above
no phones in our hands
we're all part of this
we danced the devil off our back and
we choose to love.
