Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Who's gonna climb the mountain?
Who's gonna set you free?
Who's got the inspiration?
Who's gonna hold the key?
[Verse 2]
Tell everybody (Who's gonna turn the tables?)
Tell everybody (Who's gonna stay still?)
Tell everybody (Who's gonna find the answer?)
Who, who, who? (If it isn't you)
[Verse 3]
Tell everybody (We got a funky situation)
Tell everybody (We got a funky celebration)
Going down
[Verse 4]
Nobody's got the answer
No matter what they say
Lord, you don't have to worry
We're gonna find a way
[Verse 5]
Tell everybody (Did you ever find out)
Tell everybody (Why things are why they are?)
Tell everybody (Ooh, what's your workin' number?)
Shine, shine, shine (You're a shinin' star)
[Verse 6]
Tell everybody (We got a funky situation)
Tell everybody (We got a funky celebration)
Going down, going down, going down, going down
[Verse 7]
Tell everybody
Tell everybody
Tell everybody
Tell everybody
[Verse 8]
Tell everybody
Tell everybody
Tell everybody (We got a funky situation)
Tell everybody (We got a funky celebration)
Going down, going down, going down, going down
