Lyrics
[Intro] Hey, come closer, bring your best smile We’re turning up the joy tonight [Verse 1] Fresh white sneakers on the wooden floor You tap twice, then you ask for more Auntie’s laughing by the kitchen door Everybody knows what we came here for Hands up high when the rhythm rolls Little good news for the restless souls Your bright red scarf keeps time and swings One small room, but it feels like spring [Pre-Chorus] Take my hand, don’t wait around Feel that happy turning sound When the whole crowd starts to sing We make a little moment mean everything [Chorus] We go higher, higher, higher Joy is running through the wire Move together, side to side Let the good days be our guide Oh, we’re shining, shining bright Laughing underneath the lights Call your people, bring them near This is our favorite time of year [Verse 2] Blue plates stacked beside the lemonade Three quick steps in the choice you made Granddad nods with a knowing grin Soon the whole block wants to join in Your old stories get a brand-new spin Every doorway lets the sunshine in Clap on two, then turn around Leave your worries on the ground [Pre-Chorus] Take my hand, don’t wait around Feel that happy turning sound When the whole crowd starts to sing We make a little moment mean everything [Chorus] We go higher, higher, higher Joy is running through the wire Move together, side to side Let the good days be our guide Oh, we’re shining, shining bright Laughing underneath the lights Call your people, bring them near This is our favorite time of year [Bridge] Siyajabula, come along Raise your voice and make it strong One by one, the hearts agree Your happiness is good for me [Final Chorus] We go higher, higher, higher Joy is running through the wire Move together, side to side Let the good days be our guide Oh, we’re shining, shining bright Laughing underneath the lights Call your people, bring them near This is our favorite time of year [Outro] Higher, higher, don’t slow down Take that joy all over town Hey, come closer, bring your best smile We’re turning up the joy tonight
