Listen closely,
Hear the music playin',
Let it take you,
To places far away,
And relax your senses,
Just do what you wanna do,
No need for questions,
It's all there for you
And it's so amazing,
You can't escape it,
The movement takes you,
And never lets you go,
Can't you feel the music in the air,
Close your eyes let the rhythm take you there,
Doesn't matter who you are or where you're from,
Come and dance in the music of the sun,
Forget about your troubles it's alright,
Let go until we see the mornin' light,
Come and dance in the music of the sun (the sun),
Come and dance in the music of the sun (the sun),
Come and dance in the music of the sun (the sun)
So real, so right,
Can't explain the feeling,
Like a sunlight,
Brings the life new meaning,
No need for stressing,
Praying for another day,
No second guessing,
Just trust me when I say
