It's All In The Music
Daryl Braithwaite Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel the rhythm - I feel the heat
I heard the voices - I feel the beat
I feel the spirit - reach out to me
Ooh Oh
It′s all in the music

Essential feel in from within
Floats like an eagle, on the wind
It carried the message, across the land
So turn to your brother, reach out your hand

Their eyes are crying to be heard
Their love and affection I see and I learn
So helpless and wanting, now I know
I feel it inside and I'll never let it go

I feel the rhythm - I feel the heat
I heard the voices - I feel the beat
I feel the spirit - reach out to me
Ooh Oh
It′s all in the music

The heart of a people - the sound of a soul
The one emotion that's in us all
Now I got no money, but I'm rich as a king
It′s all in the music
-And the feeling it brings me

I feel the rhythm - I feel the heat
I heard the voices - I feel the beat
I feel the spirit - reach out to me
Ooh Oh
It′s all in the music
Ooh Oh
It's all in the music

(Come away-come a come away)
(Come a come away) come away
(Come a come away)
(Come a come away) come away
(Come a come away)
(Come a come away) come away
(Come a come away)

I feel the rhythm - I feel the heat
I heard the voices - I feel the beat
I feel the spirit - reach out to me
Ooh Oh
It′s all in the music

I feel the rhythm - I feel the heat
I heard the voices - I feel the beat
I feel the spirit - reach out to me
Ooh Oh
It's all in the music

I feel the rhythm - I feel the heat
I heard the voices - I feel the beat
I feel the spirit - reach out to me
Ooh Oh
It′s all in the music





I feel the rhythm - I feel the heat
I heard the voices - I feel the beat
