Freedom's here for you on the dancefloor
You can lose yourself in this zone
You can find yourself in the early morning

This one's for rude girls
Who know what they want
So they get what they want
One time for the rude boys
Who's making the rhythm
But tonight we're taking our spirits higher
We're dancing in the fire
Taking our spirits higher

When I step up I make history
I know that you're here you're mine
Bring the wine I like the give fine

Freedom's here for you on the dancefloor
You can lose yourself in this zone
You can find yourself in the early morning
