Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Think of life without music
Silence the whole day long
Ears that don't hear rhythm
Words without a song
Just don't know what to do
How could I live out my day
Would I be getting up
Wishing my life away
[Chorus]
When the drums come calling
The bassline moves you in
Sounds of regal splendour
Fit for a king and queen
Secrets of the universe
The mysteries of life
And the things that don't make sense
All come clear
'Cause the music takes me up
[Instrumental]
Music takes me up
Yes, music takes me up
[Instrumental]
Now that we have the music
There's no turning round
Captured in the moment
All lost in the sound
There's a brand new freedom
Yes, something has begun
Bring us all together
Moving now as one
[Chorus]
When the drums come calling
The bassline moves you in
Sounds of regal splendour
Fit for a king and queen
Secrets of the universe
The mysteries of life
And the things that don't make sense
All come clear
'Cause music takes me up
[Refrain]
Music takes me up
Music takes me up
Music takes me up
Music takes me up
[Instrumental]
Music takes me up
Music takes me up
Music takes me up
Music takes me up
[Instrumental]
Ah, hee-ee-ee, ee-ee
Me up
Takes me up
Takes me up
Music takes me up
[Outro]
Does it take me up
