[Intro]
Listen to the rhythm of your heart
Listen, listen
Yeah, yeah yeah
Listen to the rhythm of your heart
Listen to the rhythm of your heart
[Verse 1]
Every city's got one, a kid that don't fit in
Nobody'll listen to a rebel without a friend
When the world misunderstands you, instead of sayin' 10-4
The rhythm of your heart is saying don't give up before you
[Chorus]
Shine like the sun, dance like the rain
Sing like an angel, know no shame
Try to stay happy on the darkest day
The rhythm of your heart is saying "Keep on!"
[Verse 2]
Evil thoughts run crazy when joy is not around
How can you be happy when you're feelin' down?
You got to find out who you are, you gotta be able to say
Your own name with power and pride, then you can win at any game
You got to
[Chorus]
Shine like the sun, dance like the rain
Sing like an angel, know no shame
Try to stay happy on the darkest day
The rhythm of your heart is saying "Keep on!"
[Hook]
Listen to the rhythm of your heart
Listen to the rhythm of your heart
Listen to the rhythm of your heart
Listen to the rhythm of your heart
[Verse 3]
Maybe one day I'll be one of the famous
Then maybe on that day I'll be one of the crowd
But until then I'll just keep on
Dancin' to the rhythm of my heart, I believe in me
Therefore I'm p-r-o-u-d, proud!
[Chorus]
Shine like the sun, dance like the rain
Sing like an angel, know no shame
Try to stay happy on the darkest day
The rhythm of your heart is saying "Keep on!"
[Spoken Interlude]
Lookin' for the sky y'all (Shine, shine)
That's us, we can
Venga conmigo mi gente (Yes, we can)
Vamos a reirnos para el amor
El poder del amor
Y la diversion esta aqui ahora
Si vienen para gozar
Pues dejenme oirles gritar!
Keep on, keep on, keep on y'all
[Hook]
