Move your body if you can't sing
Just make a sound if you don't feel like dancing
I am here now. I am 7 sons.
My body sings to the beat and sound of seven drums

Legs that propel, hands for grasping
And I sit still feel time lapsing
And the tears fall and then I'm dry
Turn my body off put it on standby

I can't move
And I can't stop moving
And despite myself
I can't stop improving
Tripping down the stars I fall and shatter bones
And I break my head 

In a muscle, in a tendon 
In my blood at a rate that is ascending 
Stretch it out now, curl up tight
And the body sings in the stage fright

There's an earthquake, there's a flooding
There's a cut now the countertops are bloody
I hear the wind blow, I smell the fire
And my body sings, I turn it up higher

Use it all now in combination 
Happy birthday, congratulations 
It's a heat wave and electric
You can do it 
You'll never make it 

Break dance break down:
See it smell it taste it touch it
Feel it as the waves pound
LIke the president
Like a Saudi King
Like clock work
the body sings
