Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I could just sit around making music all day long As long as I'm making my music ain't gonna do nobody no harm And who knows maybe I'll come up with a song To make people want to stop all this fussing and fighting Long enough to sing along I believe in music I believe in love I believe in music I believe in love Music is love and love is music if you know what I mean People who believe in music are the happiest people I've ever seen So clap your hands and stomp your feet and shake those tambourines Lift your voices to the sky tell me what you see. I believe in music I believe in love I believe in music I believe in love Music is the universal language, and love is the key To peace hope and understanding, and living in harmony So take your brother by the hand and come along with me Lift your voices to the sky, tell me what you see I believe in music I believe in love I believe in music I believe in love
