Resonate
The Jones Sisters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm gonna resonate
One day I'll resonate
I'm gonna resonate
One day I'll resonate

Ring, sing like a choir
I'm gonna resonate
I'm gonna radiate
One day I'll radiate
I'm gonna radiate
One day I'll radiate

Streak, break like a starlight
Streak, break like a starlight
I'm gonna radiate

I'm sailing to the bluegrass state
On an ocean I create
To holy music I orchestrate
I'm sailing to the bluegrass state

Shake, rattle like creation
Shake, rattle like creation
I'm sailing to the bluegrass state

I'm rolling up his interstate
Trucking up to the heavy gates
I'll shake off this heavy weight
And lay down my soul to keep

Dream, sleep like a child




Dream, and sleep like a child
I'm gonna resonate
