Listen to the Music
The Doobie Brothers Lyrics

Don't you feel it growing, day by day
Do you not sense the growth of positive energy in the air every day?

People getting ready for the news
Everyone is preparing themselves emotionally for the influx of information.

Some are happy, some are sad
There is a mixture of emotions among the people.

Oh, we got to let the music play
We need to allow music to fill the air and help ease the emotions of the people.

What the people need
The audience requires

Is a way to make 'em smile
A method to bring happiness to them must be found

It ain't so hard to do if you know how
It's not complicated if you understand how to do it.

Gotta get a message
We must spread a message

Get it on through
Convey it effectively

Oh now mama, don't you ask me why
Don't question why it needs to be done, just listen.

Whoa listen to the music
Listen carefully to the melody of the music.

Whoa listen to the music
Listen in awe to the tune's rhythm.

Whoa listen to the music
Immerse yourself in the song's composition.

All the time
Consistently.

Well I know, you know better
We both understand this well.

Everything I say
All of my words

Meet me in the country for a day
Join me in the countryside for a day.

We'll be happy
We will be content.

And we'll dance
We will celebrate and dance.

Oh, we're gonna dance our blues away
Our sadness will be forgotten as we dance away our sorrows.

And if I'm feeling good to you
If I am making you feel good

And you're feeling good to me
And if I am also enjoying your company

There ain't nothing we can't do or say
Together, we can do anything or say anything.

Feeling good, feeling fine
We are content and happy.

Oh, baby, let the music play
Let the sweet sound of music continue to play.

Like a lazy flowing river
Similar to a calm and quiet body of water.

Surrounding castles in the sky
Encircling imaginary structures in the sky.

And the crowd is growing bigger
The audience continues to grow in size.

Listening for the happy sounds
Searching for the cheerful melody.

And I got to let them fly
I must allow these happy moments to be expressed and celebrated.

Whoa listen to the music
Listen closely to the cheerful tune.

Whoa listen to the music
Pay attention to the uplifting melody.

Whoa listen to the music
Enjoy and fully experience the lively song.

All the time
At all times.
