Lyrics

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.

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.

Baby, 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.
