I got the inspiration for this song from my dear friend world, renowned speaker, Rabbi YY Jacobson who told the story about his grandmother Mrs. Lipsker who had a very difficult childhood under the communist rule Even after they fled to the USA by the grace of heaven, life was not always bright for her. One day she went to the Lubavitcher Rebbe Zt’l to receive a blessing and advice how to read herself from fear and anxiety , and the Rebbe advised her to dance at as many weddings as possible, to make the brides and families happy, and through this she would attain complete inner joy.
And so for decades Mrs. Lipsker went to thousands of weddings and made thousands of brides and families happy. In Crown Heights of those days, there were many baalei teshuva who got married without a large family and she took upon herself the privilege of dancing and making the bride and the participants happy. Through the joy she brought into the world, Mrs. Lipsker gained complete joy in her personal life as well.
This incredible story inspired made me release the song “Dance my Fears Away” and through it influence as many people as possible to dance and make others happy and thus banish sadness and fears and fill us with true inner joy.

A world full of darkness
seems to me falling apart
What am i gonna do
Milles full of fear
is digging to my heart
Is it happening to you
What kind of life are we living now
Can you tell me how
Time to make a start
be a part

Will look it in the eye
No more questions why

Dance my fears away I’m gonna

High above the cloudy skies
Pocket full of fear
I’m staring at my life go by
But can I make it a better day
