about

Forty-nine people died and another 58 were wounded at Pulse Nightclub. We wrote this song because we were angry that these people were targeted for no rational reason.

“Just all hell broke loose, people running for the door, jumping over the gates…”. Some people were shot and fell; they stayed on the ground, playing dead. Everyone else kept running. The ones who couldn’t make it out, hid.

Everyone heard the shooter walking around, laughing. “All I heard was a laugh… an evil laugh… A laugh of like, ‘Ha, I did it.’”

The shooter said, “I’ve got plenty of bullets”. People hiding texted their friends and family to say, “I love you” and “I’m going to die”.

lyrics

Verse

Escaped the small minds from where I’m from
A place where kids like us
Were beaten and shunned
Salvation’s on the dance floor
Salvation’s on the dance floor

Then the girl inside me grew strong
With people I love
In a place where I belong
Salvation’s on the dance floor
Salvation’s on the dance floor

Who you are is who you are
And who I am is who I am
And who we love is who we love
And love is love is love is love

Chorus
Dance, dance, dance, dance through the pain
Dance through the fireworks
Again and and again and again

Dance, dance, dance, dance through the pain
Dance through the fireworks
Again and and again and again

Bridge
When the smoke clears I’ll see you
When the sirens stop I’ll hear you
When we’re on the other side I’ll be with you
Because I’ll always hold on to you

Salvation’s on the dance floor
Salvation’s on the dance floor

Who you are is who you are
And who I am is who I am
And who we love is who we love
And love is love is love is love

Chorus
Dance, dance, dance, dance through the pain
Dance through the fireworks
Again and and again and again

When the smoke clears I’ll see you
When the sirens stop I’ll hear you

Maybe we should hide
Maybe we should run
Maybe we should fight
Maybe we should pray for an empty gun
