Rightness Lyrics


When I write the rightness,tightness
It just flows and flows
Pull it from my left side,right brain
Grab it from my neck,my toes
I feel the music sink into me
Go through me,move me,move me
It's a pleasure to be live and thinkin'
It's a pleasure to be in this zone
[Chorus:]I just let it go
Don't stop this feeling
Chop this feeling
I just let it go
Don't stop this feeling
Chop,chop,no
[Repeat x2]When I sing the rightness,tightness
It just goes and goes
Pull it from my people's legacy

Way down in my soul
I let the spirit move right to me
Come through me,move me,whoa
it's a
pleasue to be
It's a pleasure to be vocalizing
It's a pleasure to sing this song
[Chorus]Music is my life
Takes away the strife
Of day to day sorrow and pain
Music is my life
Takes away the strife
And helps me breathe again
[Repeat x2][Chorus][Mike Phillips solo to end of song]

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
