Think of life without music
Silence the whole day long
Ears that don't hear rhythm
Words without a song

Just don't know what to do
How could I live out my day
Would I be getting up
Wishing my life away

When the drums come crawling
The baseline moves you in
Sounds of regal splendour
Fit for a king and queen
Secrets of the universe
The mysteries of life
And the things that don't make sense
All come clear
'Cause music takes me up
Music takes me up
Yes, music takes me up

Now that we have the music
There's no turning round
Catch it in the moment
All lost in the sound
There's a brand new free loose
Something has begun
Bring us all together
Moving now as one

When the drums come crawling
The baseline moves you in
Sounds of regal splendour
Fit for a king and queen
Secrets of the universe
The mysteries of life
And the things that don't make sense
All come clear
'Cause music takes me up
Music takes me up
Yes, music takes me up

Music takes me up
