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
