Celebrate

Whitney Houston with Jordin Sparks

(Celebrate is the final song by the American diva. "Celebrate" is featured on the soundtrack of 'Sparkle').

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh

Everybody's been so uptight

And forgetting to live the life

Let all the problems get them down

Till they make you wanna shout

See everybody's been down in luck

Now finally things are looking up

The sun is chased all the rain away

No more obstacles in our away

It's time to celebrate (come on, yeah)

Come on and celebrate (that's what I want)

I wanna celebrate (because it's so right)

I celebrate you (I celebrate you, yeah)

There is oh so many of us (that underestimate the power of love)

So much hate going round and I've had enough

I've invited you for the love

Though we been going through changes

Just trying to make it from day to day

Tonight don't you worry about a thing

Just cast your cares away

It's time to celebrate (come on, yeah)

Come on and celebrate (it is what I want)

I wanna celebrate (it's time to celebrate)

I celebrate you, I celebrate you

It's time to celebrate (come on, come on)

Come on and celebrate (don't matter what color you are)

I wanna celebrate (tonight everyone is a star)

I celebrate you, I celebrate you

I'm gonna give you a reason

Why you should clap your hands and jump for joy

There's something we can believe in

Now that the rain is gone we're gonna dance in o a rainbow

It's time to celebrate (come on, yeah)

Come on and celebrate (time to celebrate)

I wanna celebrate (because it's so right)

I celebrate you (I celebrate you)

Celebrate me, celebrate me

It's time to celebrate (time to bring you and me)

Come on and celebrate (don't matter what color you are)

I wanna celebrate (tonight everyone is a star)

I celebrate you, you celebrate me

It's time to celebrate

Come on and celebrate

I wanna celebrate

I celebrate you, you celebrate me

It's time to celebrate

Come on and celebrate

I wanna celebrate

I celebrate you, you celebrate me

It's time to celebrate

Come on and celebrate

I wanna celebrate

I celebrate you, you celebrate me

It's a New Day

Here's the next song to add to your playlist:

I went asleep last night 
Tired from the fight 
I've been fighting for tomorrow 
All my life 
Yea I woke up this morning 
Feeling brand new 
'Cause the dreams that I've been dreaming 
Has finally came true 

(CHORUS) 

It's a new day 
It's a new day 
It's a new day 
It's a new day 
It's a new day 

It's been a long time coming 
Up the mountain kept runnin' 
Souls of freedom kept hummin' 
Channeling Harriet Tubman 

Kennedy, Lincoln, and King 
We gotta maninvest in that dream 
It feels like we're swimming upstream 
It feels like we're stuck inbetween 
A rock and a hard place, 
We've been through the heartaches 
And lived through the darkest days 

If you and I made it this far, 
Well then hey, we can make it all the way 
And they said no we can't 
And we said yes we can 
Remember it's you and me together 

(CHORUS)

It's been a long time waitin' 
Waiting for this moment 
It's been a long time praying 
Praying for this moment 

We hope for this moment 
And now that we own it 
For life I ma hold it 
And I won’t let it go 

It's for fathers, our brothers, 
Our friends who fought for freedom 
Our sisters, our mothers, 
Who died for us to be in this moment 

Stop and cherish this moment 
Stop and cherish this time 

It's time for unity 
For us and we 
That's you and me together 

I woke up this morning 
Feeling brand new 
'Cause the dreams that I've been dreaming 
Have finally came true 
Yea, I woke up this morning 
Feeling alright 

'Cause we weren't fighting for nothing 
And the soldiers weren't fighting 
For nothing 
No, Martin wasn't dreaming for nothing 
And Lincoln didn't change it for nothing 
And children weren't crying for nothing

Song # 1...MY FAVORITE:

You can be amazing
You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug
You can be the outcast
Or be the backlash of somebody’s lack of love
Or you can start speaking up
Nothing’s gonna hurt you the way that words do
When they settle ‘neath your skin
Kept on the inside and no sunlight
Sometimes a shadow wins
But I wonder what would happen if you

Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave

With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave

I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave

I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave

Everybody’s been there,
Everybody’s been stared down by the enemy
Fallen for the fear
And done some disappearing,
Bow down to the mighty
Don’t run, just stop holding your tongue
Maybe there’s a way out of the cage where you live
Maybe one of these days you can let the light in
Show me how big your brave is

Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave

With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave

And since your history of silence
Won’t do you any good,
Did you think it would?
Let your words be anything but empty
Why don’t you tell them the truth?

Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave

With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave

I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave

I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
See you be brave
