It's morning I wake up The taste of summer sweetness on my mind It's a clear day In this city Let's go dance under the street lights All the people in this world Let's come together More than ever I can feel it Can you feel it? (Come on over) Down to the corner My sisters and my brothers of every different color (Don't you feel that sunshine) telling you to hold tight? Things will be alright Try to find a better life (Come on over) Down to the corner My sisters and my brothers, there for one another (Come on over) Man I know you want to let yourself go Some people It's a pity They go all their lives and never know How to love or to let love go But it's alright now We'll make it through this somehow And we'll paint the perfect picture All the colors of this world will run together more than ever I can feel it Can you feel it? (Come on over) Down to the corner My sisters and my brothers of every different color (Don't you feel that sunshine) telling you to hold tight? Things will be alright Try to find a better life (Come on over) Down to the corner My sisters and my brothers, there for one another (Come on over) Man I know you want to let yourself go Let yourself go We may never find our reason to shine But here and now, this is our time And I may never find the meaning of life But for this moment I am fine So... (Come on over) Down to the corner My sisters and my brothers of every different color (Don't you feel that sunshine) telling you to hold tight? Things will be alright Try to find a better life (Come on over) Down to the corner We can leave that all behind Never been a better time (Come on over) Man I know you want to let yourself go On and on, and on, and on, and on (Yeah, yeah) Yeah, we goin' on and on, and on, and on, and on, and on (Yeah, yeah) Yeah, we goin' on and on, and on, and on, and on, and on (Yeah, yeah) On and on, and on, and on, and on, and on (Yeah, yeah) (Yeah, yeah) (Yeah, yeah)
