[Intro – horns stab, drums kick] (Lead – spoken) Alright now… come on… --- [Verse 1] I was walking down a lonely street With nothing but the dust on my feet Every door just closed on me Till your love set me free Now the rhythm’s got a hold on my soul And I feel like I’m finally whole When you smile, everything’s right Like a spark in the middle of the night --- [Pre-Chorus – call & response] (Lead) Can you feel that rising heat? (Backing) Feel it now! (Lead) Like a fire you can’t defeat? (Backing) Show me how! --- [Chorus] Come a little bit closer now Let me show you how When the music hits just right We can hold on tight Come a little bit closer now Don’t you wait, don’t you doubt When the horns start to play We’ll be dancing all the way --- [Verse 2] Every heartbeat’s got a brand new sound Ever since you came around Every worry fades away When you’re here to stay There’s a feeling running through the crowd Hear them singing out loud No more hiding, no more fear We’re alive together here --- [Chorus] --- [Break – crowd interaction] (Lead) Clap your hands now! (Backing) Clap ‘em now! (Lead) Let me hear you shout! (Backing) Say it loud! (Horns riff) --- [Bridge – gospel lift] (Lead) When the world tries to bring you down Don’t you let it turn you ‘round There’s a strength you can’t deny Lift your head up high (Backing – rising harmony) Stand strong… hold on… (Lead) Let the music lead the way Take you to a brighter day --- [Instrumental Break – horns + groove] --- [Final Chorus – full power] Come a little bit closer now Let me show you how When the music hits just right We can hold on tight Come a little bit closer now Don’t you wait, don’t you doubt When the horns start to play We’ll be dancing all the way --- [Outro – ad libs] (Lead) Come on now… don’t stop… (Backing) Closer now… closer now… (Lead) Keep that feeling in your soul… (Backing) Don’t let go…
