Lyrics
Stepping uptown 'cause I'm feeling down Wrapping myself in the healing sound Picking me up when there's no one around There's a simple thing that I have found We sing "Ah, La, La, La, la la, La"... Got your freedom now and you've got a clue Forget yesterday; this is something new You hear all the words and they're talking to you Take them to heart; know you know what to do We sing "Ah, La, La, La, la la, La"...

Song Production Information
Tommie Sunshine
This song turned into something special when I began to write the lyrics.
Many have told me it has a very European feel to it, especially the Italian influence.
This could be a folk song from many years ago, but instead is a celebration of modern times and captured the freedom one feels while dancing.
No matter what ever comes your way, if you can sing and dance it away it can never get you down.
