LYRICS

‘You never show the spark that makes you glow
You always run away, you always say no to the right things
Don’t try to hide, the light, inside of you
Today might be the day when you will make it baby.(yodel it)

So bring it on, bring it on, I’m a dreamer
If you don’t believe it, come and see me I will teach you
If you never try , you’ll never be alive
You are gonna miss out on this ride.

Yodeleeii….
Yodele yodele oo Yodeleii….
Yodele yodeleioo Yodeleeii
Wanna hear this now Yodeleio
Gonna act really crazy Yodeleeii
Yodele yodeleioooo Yodeleioooo.

Now what’s the use of being so confuzed
Of doing all this work you really don’t want to be doing
But you’ll be fine, it’s time to feel alive
Don’t stop from reaching for the stars and keep on moving.

So bring it on, bring it on, I’m a dreamer
If you don’t believe it, come and see me, I will teach yaaa
If you never try , you’ll never be alive
You are gonna miss out on this ride! Refren: Yodeleii.

Sitting alone at my desk on a 9 to 5 program, It just won’t do
Get another coffee, get another one to make it through
Don’t want this anymore.

Don’t you hide that light inside of you
Come and show me what you wanna do.

If you’re stuck in a place and it feels like s**t
If you wanna run feeling like a misfit
Come on sing along
Come on sing this song
Say 1 , 2 , 3, SAY.

Yodeleii…
Just shout it baby Yodeleiii..
Just shout it baby Yodeleeii
Wanna hear this now Yodeleio
Gonna act really crazy Yodeleeii
Yodele yodeleioo
Just shout it babyyy.’
