Lyrics
Feel the joy in life
With every step you make
Ya gotta be grateful
For every breath you take
Smile every day
To keep those frowns away
Cuz the very next minute
It could all fade away
If you're lost and scared
This is what I'll say
Dance when you can dance
Run when you can run
Sing when you can sing
Love while you can
Dance when you can dance
Run when you can run
Sing when you can sing
Love while you can
Raise your mind raise your mind
Raise your mind to free your soul
Raise your mind raise your mind
Raise your mind to free your soul
Trouble's gonna come
It's in the fabric of life
Friends you thought you knew
Will sure nuff fool you too
Keep your mind strong
In the midst of it all
Pick yourself up when you stumble and fall
Cuz life is a joy
When you free your soul
Open up the gates of love
And watch it fall from above
Dance when you can dance
Run when you can run
Sing when you can sing
Love while you can
Dance when you can dance
Run when you can run
Sing when you can sing
Love while you can
Raise your mind raise your mind
Raise your mind to free your soul
Raise your mind raise your mind
Raise your mind to free your soul
Oh you're gonna get a taste of it all
And you're gonna take some falls
Pain and sickness and misery
And sho nuff death will come knockin' for you too
Raise your mind raise your mind
Raise your mind to free your soul
Raise your mind raise your mind
Raise your mind to free your soul
Dance when you can dance
Run when you can run
Love while you can love
You got to raise your mind raise your mind
Raise your mind to free your soul
You can do it I can do it she can do it he can do it
You can do it she can do it
We must we gotta gotta
Raise our minds
Raise the love
Raise that love
Raise your mind
Raise the love
