SHAKE THE WORLD UP!

LOOK UP
NOT DOWN
WE’LL TURN IT ALL AROUND

BE KIND
TO YOURSELF
WE’LL LOVE YOU ANYWAY

WE’LL SHAKE THE WORLD UP
SHAKE THE WORLD UP
WE’LL SHAKE THE WORLD UP
WHAT YOU GONNA DO WHEN IT COMES FOR YOU?

I REMEMBER THE GOOD DAYS
WHEN I WAS YOUNG
I WALKED ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
INTO THE SUN

BUT NOW MY DAYS ARE HARDER
I’M FEELING THE PULL
WALKING THE STREETS
I LOOK LIKE A DRUNK!

I CAN SEE THE HOPE WHEN NOBODY WILL
AND I CAN SEE THE CLOUDS PARTING OVER THE HILLS
I CAN SEE THE LIGHT AT THE WAKING HOUR
BELIEVE IN LOVE AND A HIGHER POWER
COME WITH US AND WE’LL TAKE YOU HIGHER

WE’LL SHAKE THE WORLD UP
SHAKE THE WORLD UP
WE’LL SHAKE THE WORLD UP
WHAT YOU GONNA DO WHEN IT COMES FOR YOU?
WHAT YOU GONNA DO WHEN IT COMES FOR YOU?
WHAT YOU GONNA DO WHEN IT COMES FOR YOU?

BE STRONG
BUT DON’T CRY
WE’LL FIGHT IT TILL THE DAY THAT WE DIE
GO SLOW
BUT DON’T STOP

BELIEVE IN LOVE AND A HIGHER POWER
COME WITH US AND WE’LL TAKE YOU HIGHER

WE’LL SHAKE THE WORLD UP
WE’LL SHAKE THE WORLD UP
WE’LL SHAKE THE WORLD UP

SHAKE RATTLE AND ROLL
SHAKE RATTLE AND ROLL
SHAKE RATTLE AND ROLL
SHAKE RATTLE AND ROLL
SHAKE RATTLE AND ROLL YEAH
SHAKE RATTLE AND ROLL YEAH
SHAKE RATTLE AND ROLL YEAH
SHAKE RATTLE AND ROLL YEAH
SHAKE RATTLE AND ROLL YEAH
SHAKE RATTLE AND ROLL
YEAH

I’VE TAKEN ALL THE PILLS
SWALLOWED THEM DOWN
WHAT YOU GONNA DO
WHAT YOU GONNA DO
WHAT YOU GONNA DO
WHEN IT COMES FOR YOU?

WE’LL SHAKE THE WORLD UP
