2.- Lyrics
Everyone you meet,
the children in the street
Are swayin' to the rhythm,
there's somethin' movin' in them
There's no place to hide,
so why even try?
Can't you hear it coming your way?
It's here to stay
Music in our walk,
music when we talk
It's really something magic,
to lose it would be tragic
Can't you feel the sound
movin' through the ground?
Music makes the world go around
(Chorus 1)
You can't stop the music,
nobody can stop the music
Take the cold from snow,
tell the trees, don't grow
Tell the wind, don't blow,
'cause it's easier
No, you can't stop the music,
nobody can stop the music
Take the spark from love,
make the rain fall up
'Cause that's easier to do
Movin' with the wind
since the world began
The beat is gonna get you,
beat is gonna get you
Music for the blues,
for your dancin' shoes
There's music in the way that we kiss,
you can't resist
Movin' through the trees,
buzzin' with the bees
The sound is gettin' louder,
sound is gettin' louder
Music when we play,
when we kneel to pray
There's music in the sound of the wind
You can't stop the music,
nobody can stop the music
Take the heat from flame,
try not feeling pain
Though you try in vain,
it's much easier
No, you can't stop the music,
nobody can stop the music
Change the master plan,
take the hope from man
'Cause that's easier to do
On the radio, on every TV show
For each and every reason,
each and every season
Music when we love
for the Moon above
Music for the show
of life that never ends
Music on a plane,
music on a train
Sailing on the ocean,
music in the motion
Music in your car,
at your local bar
There's music when you look at a star
(Chorus 2)
You can't stop the music,
nobody can stop the music
Keep two loves apart,
mend a broken heart
Catch a fallin' star,
that's much easier
No, you can't stop the music,
nobody can stop the music
Tell the Sun don't shine,
stop Old Father Time
'Cause that's easier to do
(Repeat Chorus 1)
