Getting Closer

I'ma see what's on the radio

I woke up this morning
And to my surprise
As the day was dawning
There's nothing on my mind
Yeah, it's been a long time
Yeah, it's been a while
Since I got out of bed
Oh, with a smile, ooh

I'm getting closer, oh
Ooh, I'm getting closer, yeah

And as I walk down the street
It seems that every person that I meet
Seems happy inside
Smiling as they walk by
I hear the radio playing tunes
And for once it's got a groove
And the sunshine is up
I can hear people laughing loud

Oh, yeah it's been a long time
Oh, yeah it's been a while
Since I spent the whole day
Oh, with a smile, ooh

I'm getting closer, oh
Ooh, I'm getting closer, yeah

With the music that I make
I'll make sure they know my name
And by the time that I'm gone
There'll be no more songs to be sung
I guess music's my best friend
I mean it never ever lets me down
Oh, sweet melody
It's the glorious sound

Music brings us together
Makes us all one
And I know that forever
There'll be songs being sung, ooh

I'm getting closer, oh
Ooh, I'm getting closer, yeah

Now life may be tough, children
But don't give up now, it's only just begun
