I hear a voice from paradise, Looks like a new day dawning. So clear, I just open my eyes. Can't you hear the voice calling? I feel a rush in the air tonight, I can feel the Earth moving. Love is a beacon, a guiding light. Can't you feel the Earth moving? Feel the Earth move, Now I'm wrapped in a sweet love's arms. Reaching out for you. There's something magic in the air tonight, I can feel the Earth move. And it moves me. Can't you hear the voice calling? Looks like a new day dawning. Reach out - it's a leap in the dark, But there's no danger of falling. Give out, give it straight from the heart. You feel like thunder rolling. I feel a rush in the air tonight, I can feel the Earth moving. Love is a beacon, a guiding light. Can't you feel the Earth moving? Feel the Earth move, Now I'm wrapped in a sweet love's arms. Reaching out for you. There's something magic in the air tonight, I can feel the Earth move. And it moves me. Can't you hear the voice calling? It feels like thunder rolling. Feel the Earth move, Now I'm wrapped in a sweet love's arms. Reaching out for you. There's something magic in the air tonight, I can feel the Earth move. Feel the Earth move, Now I'm wrapped in a sweet love's arms. Reaching out for you. There's something magic in the air tonight, I can feel the Earth move. Feel the Earth move, Now I'm wrapped in a sweet love's arms. Reaching out for you. There's something magic in the air tonight, I can feel the Earth move. Feel the Earth move, Now I'm wrapped in a sweet love's arms. Reaching out for you. There's something magic in the air tonight, I can feel the Earth move.
