Let's all clap our hands together people everywhere
Let's all clap our hands together with the joy that we can share
Let's all clap our hands together; just stand up and try
Then reach high, high, high - stretching for the sky

Let's all shake and bounce together people everywhere
Let's all shake and bounce together with the joy that we can share
Let's all shake and bounce together; just stand up and try
Then reach high, high, high - stretching for the sky

Feel your body growing and your spirit soaring free
Reach up for the highest star and all that you can be -

Let's all swing and sway together people everywhere
Let's all swing and sway together with the joy that we can share
Let's all swing and sway together; just stand up and try
Then reach high, high, high - stretching for the sky

Let's all hop and freeze together people everywhere
Let's all hop and freeze together with the joy that we can share
Let's all hop and freeze together; just stand up and try
Then reach high, high, high - stretching for the sky

Feel your body growing and your spirit soaring free
Reach up for the highest star and all that you can be -

Let's all jump and turn together people everywhere
Let's all jump and turn together with the joy that we can share
Let's all jump and turn together; just stand up and try
Then reach high, high, high - stretching for the sky
