Lyrics
Ooh, can you feel it?
(She gave us the music)
Ooh, turn it up now
A church girl out of Newark with a fire in her chest
Singing Sunday morning gospel, head and shoulders 'bove the rest
Her mama passed the torch and said"Baby, take the flame"
And the whole world stopped and listened when they finally heard her name
One note, and the radio surrendered
One song, and a billion hearts remembered
She didn't just sing it, she set it free
She showed us what a voice could be
Sing it loud (Sing it loud)
The voice lives on, it's all around
Every dancefloor, every crowd
She lifted us up, she still does now
So clap your hands (Clap your hands)
Let the rhythm take a stand
When the music plays, we understand
The voice lives on, lives on
She took a country anthem, made it touch the sky
Seven straight at number one, nobody asked her why
From the stadiums to silver screens, she carried us along
Every heartbreak that she lived through, she turned into a song
One note, and the whole world stood at attention
One love, too much joy for me to mention
She didn't just reach us, she pulled us through
She made the impossible something we could do
Sing it loud (Sing it loud)
The voice lives on, it's all around
Every dancefloor, every crowd
She lifted us up, she still does now
So clap your hands (Clap your hands)
Let the rhythm take a stand
When the music plays, we understand
The voice lives on, lives on
And when the lights go down and the crowd goes home
There's a melody she left us so we're never alone
Every queen who grabs a microphone, every kid who dares to dream
Is standing on the high notes of Whitney's legacy
(Lift it up, lift it up, here we go)
Sing it loud (Sing it loud, yeah)
The voice lives on, it's all around (All around)
Every dancefloor, every crowd
She lifted us up, she still does now (Still does now, baby)
So clap your hands (Clap your hands)
Let the rhythm take a stand
When the music plays, we understand
The voice lives on (Whoa-oh-oh)
The voice lives on (Sing it for her now)
The voice lives on, lives on
(Lives on, lives on)
Ooh, we'll always love you
(Lives on, lives on)
The voice lives on
