Electricity

This past weekend I went and saw a live broadcast production of Billy Elliot from London. It was a fabulous production and the kid who played young Billy did an excellent job with the dancing. I was reminded of a fabulous song that he sings at the end where he is describing what it feels like to dance. He sings it with such emotion and spirit as he dances around the stage and expresses his feelings so well. This feeling can be said of many things that I love to do. When I'm in the temple, when I go to a show, when I spend times with close friends and family, when I visit a battlefield. There are true emotions that are involved when we do things we love. Thanks Billy Elliot for putting some of these emotions into words.


Electricity
Billy Elliot Musical

I can't really explain it,
I haven't got the words
It's a feeling that you can't control
I suppose it's like forgetting, losing who you are
And at the same time something makes you whole
It's like that there's a music playing in your ear
And I'm listening, and I'm listening and then I disappear

And then I feel a change
Like a fire deep inside
Something bursting me wide open impossible to hide
And suddenly I'm flying, flying like a bird
Like electricity, electricity
Sparks inside of me
And I'm free I'm free

It's a bit like being angry,
it's a bit like being scared
Confused and all mixed up and mad as hell
It's like when you've been crying
And you're empty and you're full
I don't know what it is, it's hard to tell
It's like that there's a music playing in your ear
But the music is impossible, impossible to hear
But then I feel it move me
Like a burning deep inside
Something bursting me wide open impossible to hide
And suddenly I'm flying, flying like a bird
Like electricity, electricity
Sparks inside of me
And I'm free I'm free

Electricity, sparks inside of me
And I'm free, I'm free
It's a bit like being angry,
it's a bit like being scared
Confused and all mixed up and mad as hell
It's like when you've been crying
And you're empty and you're full
I don't know what it is, it's hard to tell
It's like that there's a music playing in your ear
But the music is impossible, impossible to hear
But then I feel it move me
Like a burning deep inside
Something bursting me wide open impossible to hide
And suddenly I'm flying, flying like a bird
Like electricity, electricity
Sparks inside of me
I'm free, I'm free, free, I'm free
