Did you know that there's a party going on today?
Hoping I and you could dance the night away
But you're hiding, you don't have to be afraid
Come with me and trust you'll be alright
Won't you stop and listen to the music?
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
To the music
I just wanna vibe a little (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
To the music
There will always be a time to celebrate today
Liberate, no need to complicate (no, no, no, no, no)
There's no need for you to hesitate today
Go ahead and take the leap of faith, the leap of faith
Won't you stop and listen to the music?
