Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Hold your hands up

Hold your head up

To the painted sky

Breathe in spirit

You can feel it

Let your ego die

Be a vessel

Never settle

For the status quo

Love will lead us

And complete us

This is what I know

We've got to raise vibration

Wake up and raise vibration

We've got to raise vibration

Wake up and raise vibration

Just like Jesus

As he teach us

Do it like the Lord

Just how Martin

Got it startin'

And without a sword

Just as Gandhi

Went to war

And never used a gun

We can join together

And through love we'll get it done

We've got to raise vibration

Wake up and raise vibration

We've got to raise vibration

Wake up and raise vibration

We've got to raise vibration

Wake up and raise vibration

We've got to raise vibration

Wake up and raise vibration

Raise

Raise vibration

Raise

Raise vibration

We've got to raise, oh yeah

Raise vibration

Raise, oh raise

Raise vibration

We've got to raise, oh raise

Raise vibration
