Yaakov Shwekey – Dance My Fears Away

בס״ד

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

and free my heart



I’m gonna bring my fears to the dance floor

Will look it in the eye

No more questions why

time to say goodbye

bye bye



Dance, Dance, Dance

I’m gonna Dance, Dance

dance my night away

Dance, Dance, Dance I’m gonna

Dance my fears away I’m gonna

Dance, Dance, Dance I’m gonna

Come take a chance



Looking for the sunshine

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

can i clear my way

oh oh oh

so make a start

be a part

to be free

free your mind and heart



I’m gonna bring my fears to the dance floor

Will look it in the eye

No more questions why

time to say goodbye

bye bye



Dance, Dance, Dance, Dance..

I’m gonna Dance, Dance

Dance my night away

Dance, Dance, Dance I’m gonna

Dance my fears away I’m gonna

Dance, Dance, Dance I’m gonna

I’m dancing to serenity
