लिरिक्स

[Intro] [Fast driving rock and roll piano, energetic handclaps, drum roll] [Spoken / Shouted with energy] Hallelujah! Y'all better get up on your feet today! Lord have mercy, we got a story to tell! [Brass section hit] One, two, three, go! [Verse 1] [Upbeat piano, raspy soulful lead vocal] I was walking down the street, feeling cold and low Didn't know which way to turn, didn't know where to go Then a light started shining, bright as it could be And a voice from above said: "Child, listen to me!" [Chorus] [Full gospel choir, high energy, driving drums, brass section] Oh Maria! (Oh Maria!) Light up the night! (Light up the night!) Oh Maria! (Oh Maria!) Make everything right! (Make everything right!) When the rhythm takes over, you just gotta shout! That's what mercy and grace are all about! [Verse 2] [Call and Response, fast tempo, heavy bassline] Now the choir's getting loud, yeah the walls begin to shake (Tell 'em!) Got a spirit in my soul that no shadow can break (Amen!) Used to run from the light, now I'm leading the band Taking everybody straight to the promised land! [Chorus] [Full gospel choir, crescendo, brass accents] Oh Maria! (Oh Maria!) Light up the night! (Light up the night!) Oh Maria! (Oh Maria!) Make everything right! (Make everything right!) When the rhythm takes over, you just gotta shout! That's what mercy and grace are all about! [Bridge / Preacher Breakdown] [Drums and bass only, handclaps, spoken-shouted preacher style] Wait a minute! Hold on now! Look at your neighbor and say: "Neighbor!" (Choir: "Neighbor!") You gotta move those feet! (Choir: "Move those feet!") I said, can I get a witness in the house today?! [Vocal belt] YEAH! [Solo] [Wild Little Richard style piano solo, fast brass riffs] [Outro] [Key change, maximum energy, high-pitched vocal belts] Oh Maria! Keep on shining! Oh Maria! Keep on driving! (Gospel choir building up) Hallelujah! (Hallelujah!) Sing it louder! (Sing it louder!) [High belt note] OH MARIA! [Big final drum crash and brass hit]
