We’ve Got the Rhythm

I was born by the river
And I was raised to have no fear
And the sign of the Christian deliverance
Showed me the reasons why I am here

So I walked through the tales of the darkness
Till I thought it would never end
And in the trail of the never-ending shadow
There was this girl reaching out her hands

We were going through the hell of hateness
Saw the angels right above
Into the deepest valley of sadness
Now we're going through the mountains of love

We've got the rhythm

And the time changed from slavery to freedom
And there was laughter and no more tears
But through the music we can still feel the power
Of our people over a million years
Let me feel it right now

We were going through the hell of hateness
Saw the angels right above
Into the deepest valley of sadness
Now we're going through the mountains of love

We've got the rhythm, rhythm of life
We've got the rhythm

We were going through the hell of hateness
Saw the angels high above
Into the deepest valley of sadness
Now we're going through the mountains of love

We've got the rhythm, rhythm of life
We've got the rhythm
We've got the rhythm
