Dance in the Woods / Masa Oka

The DJ works the mix
Slippin' in the heavy kicks
I'm diggin' the stabbin' beat
Stompin' my funky feet
This music we're after
Protects us like a shelter
Flashlight in the air
Friendly smiles everywhere

The organizer grabs the mic
And tells us what it's like
To throw a party like this
Something you cannot miss
Donations in the bucket
Contribution from my pocket
I really love the vibe
Dance music for my tribe

Dance in the woods, I feel good
Dance in the woods, good
I leave my worries behind
And I will ease my mind
Dance in the woods, I feel good
Dance in the woods, good
And you could feel the same way
If you, too, dance in the woods

I'm near the DJ booth
The art of mix is very smooth
Asian, Latino, Black and White
Any race, we can unite
Teenagers dance wildly
And the elderly dance mildly
Sharing their happiness
Fillin' each other's emptiness

Someone offers me a drink
People willing to move in sync
The sound gets louder gradually
The drums bang continually
An outdoor gathering
No more lone wandering
Cherry blossoms in your view
The music makes you truly new
