[Intro]
Funk that love!
(Funk it up!)
Hands to the sky
(Never give up!)
Feel that beat
(Feel that ground)
All of the people
(Comin’ around!)
[Verse 1]
From the forests to the plains
Through the sunshine, through the rains
Ancient rhythms, future sound
Feel the heartbeat underground
Circle turning, feet in time
Every culture, every rhyme
Different stories, different ways
One world dancing through the days!
[Pre-Chorus]
Indigenous dancers
(You’re universal)
You’re all… (we’re all)
Dancers
[Chorus]
Hate is reigning
(Raining from the high heavens)
Hate is raining
(Raining down)
Down, down, down
Time to rise
(Surprise!)
Let the love
(Rise above)
Rise high n’ shine
(Let the love)
Rise above…
(Rise above)
… love
[Verse 2]
Hear the drums across the land
Feel the rhythm, take my hand
No more walls to keep us apart
Let the music move your heart
From the desert to the sea
There’s a place for you and me
Respect the roots, protect the ground
Let the love and life abound!
[Pre-Chorus]
Indigenous dancers
(You’re universal)
You’re all… (we’re all)
Dancers
[Chorus]
Hate is reigning
(Raining from the high heavens)
Hate is raining
(Raining down)
Down, down, down
Time to rise
(Surprise!)
Let the love
(Rise above)
Rise high n’ shine
(Let the love)
Rise above…
(Rise above)
… love
[Bridge]
[Instrumental: Bass Solo, Percussion, Drum Fills]
[Rap vocal breakdown]
Shake n’ bake
(Wake!)
Shake n’ bake
(Wake!)
Move your feet
(Feel the heat!)
Move your soul
(Make it whole!)
Shake n’ bake
(Wake!)
Shake n’ bake
(Wake!)
Break that chain
(Stop the pain!)
Let love flow
(That’s the show!)
[Dance Break]
Funk that love!
(Bring it on!)
Funk that love!
(From dusk till dawn!)
Step to the left
(Step to the right)
Dance for the day
(Dance through the night)
Round and round
(Feet off the ground)
Love is the rhythm
(Spread it around!)
[Bridge]

Shake n’ bake

Shake n’ bake
(Wake!)

Hate is reigning

Hate is raining

Oh, well!

Time to rise
