I'm singin' to the world, it's time we let the spirit come in
Let it come on in
I'm singin' to the world, everybody's caught in the spin
Look at where we've been
We've been runnin' around, year after year
Blinded with pride, blinded with fear
But it's daybreak, if you wanna believe
It can be daybreak, ain't no time to grieve
Said it's daybreak if you'll only believe
And let it shine, shine, shine
All around the world (sing it to the world, sing, sing)
SPOKEN: Play it, girl (sing it to the world, sing, sing)
Singin' to the world, what's the point in puttin' it down?
I'm singin' to the world, don't you see it all comes around?
The feeling's everywhere
We've been closin' our eyes, day after day
Covered in clouds, losin' our way
Hey, but it's daybreak
If you wanna believe, it can be daybreak
Ain't no time to grieve
Said it's daybreak, if you'll only believe
And let it shine, shine, shine
All around the world (gotta sing, sing it to the world)
SPOKEN: Ya sound great!!
(gotta sing, sing it to the world)
Yes, and it's daybreak
If you wanna believe, it can be daybreak
Ain't no time to grieve
Said it's daybreak, if you'll only believe
And let it shine, shine, shine
All around the world (let's sing, sing it to the world)
Let it shine, shine, shine
All around the world (sing it to the world, sing, sing)
(sing it to the world, sing, sing)
Said it's day-ee-ay-ee-aybreak
Barry sings "Can ya feel it? It's day-ee-ay-ee-aybreak and "Can ya see
it? It's day-ee-ay-ee-aybreak" while background singers continue with (sing it to the
world, sing, sing)>
SPOKEN: "Somebody yell "one more time!" Ya may as well go all the way"
Yes, and it's daybreak
If you wanna believe, it can be daybreak
Ain't no time to grieve
Said it's daybreak, if you'll only believe
And let it shine, shine, shine
All around the world (let's sing, sing it to the world)
C'mon and let it shine, shine, shine
All around the world (sing it to the world, sing, sing)
Around the world (sing it to the world, sing, sing to the world!)
