“Celebrate”
“This video represents my appreciation for the beauty of life that surround us. The things that I myself have taken for granted. The sun the moon the earth and each other. As time goes on we start to realize that all the money and power in the world holds no candle to life that allows us this existence. It gives us the right to carry on and a reason to “Celebrate!!!””
Nominated for a Hoku Award (Aka Hawaiian Grammys) “Music Video of the Year”
Lyrics
“Celebrate”
If the sun didn't rise tomorrow
And the moon got lost up in the sky
And earth stop spinning for no reason
Would we laugh, or would we cry
Whoa-o-o-o
Whoa-o-o-o-o-o
Whoa-o-o-o
Whoa-o-o-o-o-o
If a man lost his way to his dream
and a woman thought that her beauty would never be seen
and a child lost his heart by a stream would they laugh, or would they cry
Whoa-o-o-o
Whoa-o-o-o-o-o
Whoa-o-o-o
Whoa-o-o-o-o-o
Thank God we can count on the sun
And that big ole moon, it ain't going nowhere
And the earth will keep spinning around and around and around and round...
forever yes we can laugh, we can cry, we can celebrate cuz it's alright
We can laugh, we can cry, we can celebrate, whoa, cuz it's alright
Whoa-o-o-o Whoa-o-o-o-o-o
Whoa-o-o-o Whoa-o-o-o-o-o
Whoa-o-o-o Whoa-o-o-o-o-o
Whoa-o-o-o Whoa-o-o-o-o-o

LYRICS
(Chorus)
I could love you forever
We could make love our home
We could make it together
I can’t do it alone
Cuz it’s you that I want in my life forever
You and me and the dreams we discover
It’s you only you that I want right here
(Bridge)
You are all that I want
You are all that I need
Take my hand
Take my heart and my soul
Take me into your dream
(Chorus)
I could love you forever
We could make love our home
We could make it together
I can’t do it alone
All the fears that we have wash away with the notion
That our love will rise up above the commotion
It’s you only you that I want right here
(Bridge)
You are all that I want
You are all that I need
Take my hand
Take my heart and my soul
Take me into your dream
(Chorus)
I could love you forever
We could make love our home
We could make it together
I can’t do it alone
I can’t do it alone
