about

The sun was shining, the house full of people, it was pre-COVID and I put a Bhundu Boys CD in the player and turned up the volume. My granddaughter, who at the time was about two and a half years old, whooped, beamed, put both hands in the air and danced un-selfconsciously, joyously and beautifully in time with the rhythms of music that she had never heard before. I wondered who had taught her, who she had seen. We Can Take A Walk is a celebration of movement and of dance. Dance.

lyrics

We can take a walk,
We can ride a bike
And if the sun is in the sky
Then we can even take a hike
We can use my sisters skipping rope
We can wear our roller skates
And we can dance in our dancing shoes
‘Cos it never is too late.

‘Cos dancing is the thing that takes
My spirit to the sky
You can do it when the music’s low
You can do it when the music’s high
You can have some people with you
You can do it on your own
And it doesn’t really matter
If you’re bass or baritone

‘Cos when the music takes your soul
And lifts your spirits high
You can feel it in your body
As your hips they flick from side to side
Your hands rise up above your head
Your shoulders start to shake
And from those bones that creak and groan
The music drives away all ache

We can take a walk,
We can ride a bike
And if the sun is in the sky
Then we can even take a hike
We can use my sisters skipping rope
We can wear our roller skates
And we can dance in our dancing shoes
‘Cos it never is too late.
