she dances .. spins .. bends

collects her tips .. looks ahead

to rising above

got to get to school

tuition and books aren't cheap

one day to be free

spies the glass ceiling

lots and lots to overcome

rare thoughts .. family

trying to survive

family .. in the future

have to save money

just to get it .. first

have to have an edge somehow

stay on top of things
