What meaning are we meant to take from these lyrics from the song "Life's a Dance"?
Life's a dance you learn as you go
Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow
Don't worry about what you don't know
Life's a dance you learn as you go
This is an analogy comparing life with a dance that you have to learn along the way.
This is meant to be taken literally--we should all dance when we walk anywhere
This is meant to create a tone of control--we should always take charge of our lives and never let go of that control
