[Intro: Whitney Houston]
Clap your hands, y'all
It's alright (Turn me up, turn me up, turn me up)
Clap your hands, y'all
It's alright
Clap your hands, y'all
It's alright
Clap your hands, y'all
It's alright

[Verse 1: Whitney Houston]
If tomorrow is Judgement Day (Sing mommy)
And I'm standing on the front line
And the Lord ask me what I did with my life
I will say I spent it with you
Clap your hands, y'all
It's alright (It's alright)
Clap your hands, y'all
It's alright

[Verse 2: Whitney Houston]
If I wake up in World War 3 (World War 3)
I see destruction and poverty
And I feel like I wanna go home
It's okay if you're comin' with me
Clap your hands, y'all
It's alright (It's alright)
Clap your hands, y'all
It's alright

[Chorus: Whitney Houston]
'Cause your love is my love
And my love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couldn't hold us
'Cause your love is my love
And my love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couldn't hold us

[Post]
Clap your hands, y'all
It's alright
Clap your hands, y'all
It's alright
Clap your hands, y'all
It's alright

[Verse 3: Whitney Houston]
If I lose my fame and fortune
And I'm homeless on the street (On the street, oh Lord)
And I'm sleepin' in Grand Central Station (Ooh, okay)
It's okay if you're sleepin' with me
Clap your hands, y'all
It's alright
Clap your hands, y'all
It's alright

[Verse 4: Whitney Houston]
As the years, they pass us by (The years, the years, the years)
We stay young through each other's eyes (Each other's eyes)
And no matter how old we get, oh
It's okay as long as I got you, babe
Clap your hands, y'all
It's alright
Clap your hands, y'all
It's alright

[Chorus: Whitney Houston]
'Cause your love is my love
And my love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couldn't hold us
'Cause your love is my love
And my love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couldn't hold us

[Bridge: Whitney Houston]
If I should die this very day (Very, very day)
Don't cry, 'cause on Earth, we weren't meant to stay
And no matter what people say (Really don't matter)
I'll be waiting for you after Judgement Day

[Chorus: Whitney Houston]
'Cause your love is my love
And my love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couldn't hold us
'Cause your love is my love
And my love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couldn't hold us
'Cause your love is my love
And my love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couldn't hold us

[Outro]
Clap your hands, y'all
It's alright
Clap your hands
Clap your hands, y'all
It's alright
Clap your hands, y'all
It's alright
Clap your hands, y'all
It's alright

Whitney Houston

Known across the pop culture spectrum as the “Queen of Pop” and “The Voice” for her mezzo-soprano octave, Whitney Elizabeth Houston left an indelible impression upon pop culture. She is one of the most successful artists of all time, with more than 200 million albums sold worldwide.

Born August 9, 1963, Houston grew up singing as part of the gospel choir at her local church. She was surrounded by powerful voices in her own family (mother Cissy Houston, cousin Dionne Warwick, godmother Darlene Love, honorary aunt Aretha Franklin). After working as a model and commercial actress in the early 1980s, Whitney was discovered during a New York City nightclub performance, which led to her signing a contract with Clive Davis at Arista Records. Whitney’s first song was a duet in 1984 with Teddy Pendergrass on “Hold Me.”

She released her self-titled début album the following year, which catapulted her into superstardom as the album topped the Billboard 200 for 14 non-consecutive weeks before becoming the top-selling album of 1986, eventually achieving diamond status in the US and selling over 22 million copies worldwide. The singles “Saving All My Love For You,” “How Will I Know,” and “Greatest Love of All” topped the Billboard Hot 100 and achieved platinum status. The music video for “How Will I Know” received heavy rotation on MTV, which was uncommon for Black women at the time. She took home the Best Female Pop Vocal Performance Grammy Award for “Saving” in 1986; her performance at the Grammys of “Saving” later won her an Emmy award. She also won seven American Music Awards between 1986 and 1987.
