A Cappella
Acappella Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well, There's a light that's from the window and it shines down on the street
There's some guys standing on the corner making that good old harmony
Now there's a light that's from the window and it's sent to the street corner symphony
Let 'em sing let 'em shout cause they're singing that good old harmony
Chorus:
A cappella--Well it sounds good to me
Singing it soul to soul, Brother to brother
A cappella--Well it sounds good to me
And now I turn out the light say goodnight to another day
I'm gonna rest my weary head in my long awaited bed
I'm gonna get on my knees and pray, ask the Lord to give me just one more day
Oh Lord, hear my plea--This music just sounds so good to me
Repeat Chorus
You know we're singing for the Lord and now we're feeling mighty good
Yes we're praising God the Father like we know all Christians should
We don't need any type of guitar or an instrument to use
Oh it sounds good to me and I'm hoping it sounds good to you
Repeat Chorus
I wanna hear some acappella
Nothing compares to the soul singin fellow
Sounds so sweet makes my days go better
I wanna hear some acappella

The lyrics describe a scene where a group of guys are harmonizing on a street corner, creating a "symphony" that is sent out to the world. The chorus celebrates the power of a cappella singing to connect people on a soulful level, and the verses emphasize the religious inspiration behind this type of music.
The song is anchored in scripture, with the band quoting several Psalms and a passage from Ephesians that urge people to "sing and make music" to praise God. The idea is that a cappella music is a pure form of musical expression that allows the singers to connect with each other and with their spiritual beliefs in a deeper way.
