Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 2]
Well, everybody's been so uptight
And forgettin' to live their life
Let all the problems get them down
Till it makes you wanna shout, ooh, yeah
See, everybody's been down on luck, yeah
Now, finally things are lookin' up, ooh, yeah
The sun has chased all the rain away
No more obstacles in our way, yeah
[Verse 3]
Now it's time to celebrate, come on, yeah
Come on and celebrate
That's what I want
I wanna celebrate
Because it's alright
I celebrate you
I celebrate you
You celebrate me
Yeah, listen
[Verse 4]
There is oh, so many of us that
Underestimate the power of love
So much hate goin' round and I've had enough
I'm invitin' you to fall in love, ooh, ooh
Though we been goin' through changes
Well, just tryna make it from day to day
Tonight, don't you worry 'bout a thing
Just cast your cares away
[Verse 5]
It's time to celebrate
Come on, yeah
Come on and celebrate
It is what I want
I wanna celebrate
It's time to celebrate
I celebrate you
Alright
Come on, come on, come on
Celebrate you
Celebrate you
It's time to celebrate
Come one, come on
Come on and celebrate
No matter what color you are
I'm gonna celebrate
'Cause tonight everyone is a star
I celebrate you
Ooh
You, you, you
You celebrate me
Ooh
[Verse 6]
I'm gonna give you a reason
Why you should clap your hands and jump for joy
There's somethin' we can believe in
Now that the rain is gone, we're gonna dance on a rainbow
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
[Verse 7]
'Cause it's time to celebrate
Come on
Come on and celebrate
Time to celebrate
I wanna celebrate
Because it's alright
I celebrate you
I celebrate, you celebrate, he celebrates, we
