Look outside Ur window
Tell me now what U c
Coming up the mountain
4 a new philosophy
Every single color
Every race and ever creed
Lookin´ 4 the truth ya´ll
That´s gonna set somebody free
Get on the boat
Get on the boat, people
Get on the boat now
We got room 4 a hundred more
Get on the boat
Get on the boat, people
Get on the boat now
We got room 4 a hundred more
All across the nation
People doing what they can
2 avoid the tribulation
That will b great throughout the land
Everything in darkness
Must come out in2 the light
When we love each other
That´s the only way that´s gonna be right
Get on the boat
Get on the boat, people
Get on the boat now
We got room 4 a hundred more
Get on the boat
Get on the boat, people
Get on the boat now
We got room 4 a hundred more
Good god!
Say it again
Bridge!
We were meant 2 live 2gether
Underneath the sun
Eye can´t think of nothing better
Don´t U wanna come?
Get on the boat
Nevermind what time it is
The party´s just begun
No te alejes de este momento de inspiracion
U can let Ur hair down
Let the music move Ur feet
Panamama bring the drama
Dancin´ 2 the beat
Maceo!
What´s the harm in listening 2 the hopeful words we say
If it moves Ur heart U know U better get in without delay
Get on the boat
Get on the boat, people
Get on the boat now
We got room 4 a hundred more
Dance to the beat... Ray, Ray, Ray
Leadline- horns, hit me now
Get on the boat
Get on the boat, people
Get on the boat now
We got room 4 a hundred more
Get on the boat
Get on the boat, people
Get on the boat now
We got room 4 a hundred more
We were meant 2 live 2gether
Underneath the sun
Eye can´t think of nothing better
Don´t U wanna come?
Get on the boat
Ooh Yea
Get on the boat
Get on the boat, people
Get on the boat now
We got room 4 a hundred more
Get on the boat
Get on the boat, people
Get on the boat now
We got room 4 a hundred more
Every color, every creed
C´mon c´mon
Come with me
Hallellujiah!
Get on the boat
Get on the boat, people
Get on the boat now
We got room 4 a hundred more
Get on the boat
Get on the boat, people
Get on the boat now
We got room 4 a hundred more
Good lord
Lead line, lead line
Can´t stand it
Keep it going, keep it going
