Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't you feel it growin' day by day?
People gettin' ready for the news
Some are happy, some are sad
Oh now mama gotta let the music play
[Verse 2]
What the people need is a way to make 'em smile
It ain't so hard to do if you know how
Gotta get a message, get it on through
Whoa, now, mama, gonna get there after awhile
[Verse 3]
Whoa, whoa, listen to the music
Whoa, whoa, listen to the music
Whoa, whoa, listen to the music
All the time
[Verse 4]
What I know, you know better
Everything I say
Meet me in the country for a day
We'll be happy and we'll dance
Whoa, gonna dance the night away
[Verse 5]
If I'm feelin' good to you
And you're feelin' good to me
There ain't nothing we can't do or say
Feelin' good, feelin' fine
Whoa, I'm gonna let myself unwind
[Verse 6]
Whoa, whoa, listen to the music
Whoa, whoa, listen to the music
Whoa, whoa, listen to the music
All the time
[Verse 7]
Like a lazy flowin' river
Surrounded castles in the sky
And the crowd is growing bigger
Listen to the happy sounds
And I'm gonna let 'em fly
[Verse 8]
Whoa, whoa, listen to the music
Whoa, whoa, listen to the music
Whoa, whoa, listen to the music
All the time
[Verse 9]
Whoa, whoa, listen to the music
Whoa, whoa, listen to the music
Whoa, whoa, listen to the music
All the time
[Verse 10]
Whoa, whoa, listen to the music
Whoa, whoa, listen to the music
Whoa, whoa, listen to the music
All the time
