Gonna shock the world
I wake up and I dream in daylight
Shine so bright that I blind your sight
And remind your mind that it's all okay, right
This journey, twisting, turning
Shifting, changing, aging, learning
It's amazing, blazing, burning
Pull like a magnet, filled with a passion
Thought into action, chain reaction
Mic check, and action, it's back
Cause what you start, it's a domino effect
Rock to the rhythm of the beat (surprise)
Everybody out your seat (surprise)
Dance to the music, use it or lose it
Don't you wanna move your feet?
Surprise
It's the best day of your life
Are you surprised?
Yeah you finally got it right
Are you surprised?
It's the best day of your life
Surprise
Yeah you finally got it right
You got the lights, cameras, action
And reset, no one knows what's coming next
Jump without a safety net
Maybe few resist, no hurry
Don't go getting so upset
Just let go, get on the floor
Get up and
Pull like a magnet, filled with a passion
Thought into action, chain reaction
Mic check, and action, it's back
Cause what you start, it's a domino effect
Rock to the rhythm of the beat (surprise)
Everybody out your seat (surprise)
Dance to the music, use it or lose it
Don't you wanna move your feet?

Lead then follow, that's my motto
Let's push this for tomorrow
Are you surprised?
