SHINE TOGETHER
Count Us In 2017 Program
Music and lyrics: M. Forbes, J. Foreman, E. Escott, T. Henderson, S. Mustoe, M. Yeo, T. Yeo
[Verse 1]
I've never been the kind
To stand in the spotlight
But everyone is here
And we all shine together
Imagination's free
As the world around us dances
[Pre-Chorus]
It's okay to be a little different
You don't have to hide
[Chorus]
Let the music take control
Find your rhythm, find your soul
If you ever feel you've lost your spark
Listen to the beat within your heart
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
[Verse 2]
No matter who we are
And no matter where we come from
Our differences create the wonder of the song
We start to sing louder
Joining our hearts as one
[Pre-Chorus]
It's okay to be a little different
You don't have to hide
[Chorus]
Let the music take control
Find your rhythm, find your soul
If you ever feel you've lost your spark
Listen to the beat within your heart
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
[Bridge]
Sing a little bit louder
It'll make you feel stronger
Go ahead and sing louder
Everybody come together
When you sing this song the world will go...
Round...
And round...
And round...
Join your hands together and...
Sing!
[Chorus]
Let the music take control
Find your rhythm, find your soul
If you ever feel you've lost your spark
Listen to the beat within your heart
Let the music take control
Find your rhythm, find your soul
If you ever feel you've lost your spark
Listen to the beat within your heart
