Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
[Chorus]
This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius
Age of Aquarius
Aquarius, Aquarius
[Verse 2]
Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living, dreams of visions (Mystic crystal revelation)
And the mind's true liberation
Aquarius, Aquarius
[Verse 3]
When the moon is in the Seventh House (When the moon)
And Jupiter aligns with Mars (Jupiter)
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
[Chorus]
This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius
Age of Aquarius
Aquarius, Aquarius
Aquarius, Aquarius
[Refrain]
Let the sun shine
Let the sun shine in

Let the sun shine (Oh, let it shine)
Let the sun shine in (Come on)
The sun shine in (Now everybody, just sing along)
[Refrain]
Let the sun shine (Oh, let the sun shine on in)
Let the sun shine in (Open up your heart)
The sun shine in (And let it shine on in)
[Refrain]
(And when you are lonely, hey, let it shine) Let the sun shine
Let the sun shine in (You gotta open up your heart)
The sun shine in (And let it shine on in)
[Refrain]
(And when you feel like you been mistreated) Let the sun shine
(And your friends turn they back on you) Let the sun shine in
(Just open up your heart, let it shine on in) The sun shine in
[Refrain]
(You got to feel it) Let the sun shine
(You got to feel it) Let the sun shine in
(Ow, open up your heart and let it shine on in) The sun shine in

(And let me tell you one thing) Let the sun shine
(I want you to sing along with the 5th Dimension) Let the sun shine in
(Hey, and open up your heart) The sun shine in
[Refrain]
(Ow, come on) Let the sun shine
(And let it shine) Let the sun shine in
(Every day) The sun shine in
[Refrain]
(Hey, you got to feel it) Let the sun shine
(You got to feel it) Let the sun shine in
(When you open up your heart, you gotta let the sun come on in) The sun shine in
[Refrain]
(Now I say in the morning) Let the sun shine
(And late in the evening) Let the sun shine in
(Open up your heart, hey) The sun shine in
