Think of the things (won't you) that we could do (pay attention)
Inspired by His love (oh, oh, oh)
(Celebration) Raise your head, raise your heart
(Celebration) Time to give the Lord another start
(Celebration) You don't have to hold your head down anymore
(Celebration) Happiness and joy is yours for sure
(Celebration) It's a party not a pain to merely just survive
(Celebration) Cause we're celebrating God's alive
(Celebration) Tell the world you got a better friend
(Celebration) And He's coming back for us again
Chorus 3:
What the world needs now (What the world, what we really, really need) (is love) is love (love), sweet love
Think of the things (think about the things) that we could do (if we were inspired to)
Inspired by His love (I got to tell the world about it, Hey)
Inspiration (I've been inspired), motivation (hey to move)
It's a celebration (who I've got to celebrate) across the nation (I, I, I, I, I)
Inspiration (got a fire ignited in me), motivation (motivated so that I can see)
It's a celebration (all across the nation there's a party going on) across the nation (God is alive)
