Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One, two, three, uhh, hands up
I'll show what it do, I got my stance up
Everybody knows this is the anthem
Everybody knows this is the anthem
So get your hands up go
Esmée Denters
And brand new problems keep coming
They follow you, you keep running
Don't doubt, boy, don't you hear something
Gone through it if you just living
It might just make you a victim
Just let it go you won't miss it
It's in the look just go get it
What am I? Could it be
The rescue that you need?
It's not a dream, that's happening
Hands up come with me
What is that? Could it be
The rescue that you need?
It's not a dream, that's happening
Hands up come with me
Follow my lead
We'll go where no one knows
Everyone leaves
We are still standing strong
(Standing strong)
Listen to me, life is a song
I'll be the melody, you'll be my drum
Follow my lead we'll go where no one knows
Go
The crew all around you keeps changing
Come back to what you keep waiting
There's nothing to come save you
Just let it an infinite take you
To a place where every thing's better
You've been waiting forever
Live life like it don't matter
It won't stop if you don't let it
What is that? Could it be
The rescue that you need?
It's not a dream, that's happening
Hands up come with me
What is that? Could it be
The rescue that you need?
It's not a dream, that's happening
Hands up come with me
Follow my lead
We'll go where no one knows
Everyone leaves
We are still standing strong
(Standing strong)
Listen to me, life is a song
I'll be the melody, you'll be my drum
Follow my lead
We'll go where no one knows
Justin Timberlake

One, two, three, uhh, hands up
Count to three and raise your hands up

Everybody knows this is the anthem
Everyone recognizes that this is the theme song
