She was born into royalty
But gave it up to walk on water
When the king got wind of it he declared
She’s not my daughter
She practiced daily and lived on rice
‘Til finally she walked across Lake Michigan twice

This is your night
This is your dance
This is your life
It can be a romance

She was born on Hollywood near Franklin
To an immigrant father and mother
They thought she’d be a waitress
Instead she was a pirate like her brother
They sailed away to the seven seas
Discovered a couple of other ones
But no one believed her

This is your time
All activity has stopped
This is your revolution
Man waits for you
Man waits for you

He said I’m the savior
She said prove it
He said keep watching
Turned water into wine, fed the multitudes and gave sight to the blind
She said I believe you, what should I do
He said drive me to Santa Anita, bet Delahoussaye across the board
I’ll split my winnings with you

This is your night
This is your dance
This is your life
It can be a romance….
