== Lyrics ==
<pre>Girl, give it up, go and run away
To the arms of a magic day
Where you can stay
Where you can find yourself
Find yourself

Lose your fear, 'cause there is no one here
Do what you want to do
There's nobody stopping you, no
Give yourself and let the music take you far
Then you will know who you are

Baby, getting higher
We're getting higher
Movin' with the vibe
Let the rhythm make you fly
You are the one! Baby, isn't this fun
Tonight

Whoa-oh oh ohhhh, whoa-oh
You and I
I know we can move if we try
You know this is how it should be

Baby, getting higher
We're getting higher
Open up your eyes,
Everyday is a surprise
You are the one
Baby, the only one
Tonight

We're getting higher
We're getting higher,
Start again from here
And a new you will appear
You are the one, Baby, isn't this fun?
Tonight</pre>
