Get the Word Started - Michael McDonald

When the morning breaks

With the rising sun

Our past mistakes

Are gonna be undone

'Cause no other love

Could have opened my eyes

To the simple joy of just being alive

'Cause in this world it still takes love

(Get the word started)

Talkin' 'bout change, just ain’t enough

(Get the word started)

We gotta show what we’re made of

(Get the word started)

These times are gonna get rough

(Get the word started)

Right now, right now, right now, right now, baby

(Everybody)

Everybody

When shadows fall

Our love will shine

On all the good things

Baby that are left to find

If we don’t believe

That we have half a chance

Then all hopes and dreams

Are gonna slip through our hands

'Cause in this world it still takes love

(Get the word started)

Talkin' 'bout change just ain’t enough

(Get the word started)

We gotta show what we’re made of

(Get the word started)

These times are gonna get rough

(Get the word started)

Right now, right now, everybody

Right now, right now, baby

'Cause in this world it still takes love

(Get the word started)

Talkin' 'bout change, just ain’t enough

(Get the word started)

We gotta show what we’re made of

(Get the word started)

These times are gonna get rough

(Get the word started)

Right now, right now

(Everybody, everybody)

Baby, right now, right now, baby

(Everybody)

'Cause in this world it still takes love

(Get the word started)

Talkin' 'bout change, just ain’t enough

(Get the word started)

We gotta show what we’re made of

(Get the word started)

These times are gonna get rough

(Get the word started)

Right now, right now, baby

(Everybody, everybody)

Right now, right now, baby

(Everybody, everybody)

Right now, baby

(Everybody, everybody)

Baby, baby

(Everybody, everybody)

Baby, get the word started

(Everybody, everybody)

Right now, right now
