If we took a holiday (Oh, yeah, oh, yeah)
Took some time to celebrate (Come on, let's celebrate)
Just one day out of life (Just one day out of life)
It would be, it would be so nice

You can turn this world around
And bring back all of those happy days
Put your troubles down
It's time to celebrate

Let love shine
And we will find
A way to come together, it can make things better
We need a holiday
