Lyrics

A Celebration

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I gotta go!

I believe in a celebration

I believe we can be free.

I believe you can loose these chains

I believe you can dance with me, dance with me.

Shake! Shake!

Shake! Shake!

I believe in the Third World War

I believe in the atomic bomb.

I believe in the powers-that-be

But they won't overpower me.

And you can go there too,

And you can go, go, go, go!

Shake! Shake!

Shake! Shake!

And we don't have the time

And everything goes round and round

And we don't have the time

To watch the world go tumbling down.

I believe in the bells of Christchurch

Ringing for this land.

I believe in the cells of Mountjoy

There's an honest man.

And you can go there too, etc.

I believe in the walls of Jericho

I believe they're coming down.

I believe in this city's children

I believe the trumpet's sound.

And you can go there too, etc.
