Lyrics[]
You gotta sing when your spirit says sing
You gotta sing when your spirit says sing
When your spirit says sing
You gotta sing right along
You gotta sing when your spirit says sing
You gotta shout when your spirit says shout
You gotta shout when your spirit says shout
When your spirit says shout
You gotta shout right out loud
Shout when your spirit says shout
You gotta play when your spirit says play
You gotta play when your spirit says play
When your spirit says play
You gotta play right along
You gotta play when your spirit says play, all right
[Instrumental break]
You gotta hum when your spirit says hum
You gotta hum when your spirit says hum
When your spirit says hum
You gotta hum right along
You gotta hum when your spirit says hum, mm
You gotta sing when your spirit says sing
You gotta sing when your spirit says sing
When your spirit says sing
You gotta sing right along
You gotta sing when your spirit says sing
You gotta sing when your spirit says sing
You gotta sing when your spirit says sing
When your spirit says sing
You gotta sing right along
You gotta sing when your spirit says sing
