(Bridge)
There's a soul in the city
Watching over us I swear
There's a soul in the city
There's a whole world waiting out there, ah yeah
(Chorus)
Bring over some of your old Motown records
We'll put the speakers in the window and we'll go
On the roof and listen to the Miracles
Echo through the alley down below, oh yeah
Let's dance together just for the night
Let's don't worry about the future or nothing else
'Cause like the music's saying you gotta take chances
Go ahead, just do it and trust yourself
(Bridge)
There's a soul in the city
Watching over us tonight
There's a soul in the city
Saying everything's gonna be alright
(Chorus)
They wish us luck but they think we're just dreaming
Let's probe them wrong, baby
'Cause you know what luck is luck is believing you're lucky
That's all and showing just a little bit of faith
(Bridge)
There's a soul in the city
Watching over us I swear
There's a soul in the city
There's a whole world waiting out there, ah yeah
I got plans for us playing like a skip on a record
Through my head all night long
But when we walk that darkened stariway and step out on theroof
I know what we're feeling can't be wrong, ah yeah
(Chorus) 4x
Bring over some of your old Motown records
We'll put the speakers in the window and we'll go
On the roof and listen to the Miracles
Echo through the alley down below, oh yeah
