Lyrics
Powerline: Yeah, yeah!
Yeah, yeah!
I got myself a notion
One I know that you'll understand
We set the world in motion,
By reachin' out for each other's hand
Maybe we'll discover what we should've known all along
Yeah
One way or another, together's where we both belong
Chorus: If we listen to each other's heart,
We'll find we're never too far apart
And maybe love is the reason why
For the first time ever, we're seeing it I2I
Powerline: If a wall should come between us,
Too high to climb, too hard to break through,
I know that love will lead us
And find a way to bring me to you
So don't be in a hurry, think before you count us out
Oh
You don't have to worry, I won't ever let you down
(Nothing's gonna stop us now)
Chorus: If we listen to each other's heart,
We'll find we're never too far apart
And maybe love is the reason why
For the first time ever, we're seeing it I2I
Love is why we're seeing it I2I
(Yes, we're seeing it I2I)
Seeing it I2I
(Love is why we're seeing it)
I think we're seeing it I2I
(I2I)
I2I
We're seeing it I2I
(I2I)
Powerline: If you're ever lonely, then stop!
You don't have to be
After all, it's only a beat away from you to me
(Take a look inside and see)
Yeaaaaah!
Chorus: If we listen to each other's heart,
We'll find we're never too far apart
And maybe love is the reason why
For the first time ever, we're seeing it I2I
Powerline: Seeing it I2I
Seeing it I2I
We're seeing it I2I, baby
Treeny: For the first time
Powerline: For the first time
I2I
Seeing it
Seeing it, baby
Seeing it I2I
For the first time ever
Hey, yeah
Seeing it, baby
We're seeing it I2I
Seeing it
(C'mon, baby)
Powerline: I2I
Backup Dancers: I2I
Powerline: I2I
Treeny: I2I!
Crowd: (cheering) Yeaaaaaaaaah!
(From the closing credits) Goofy: (hollering) Yah-hoo-hoo-hoo-eeee!!
