Can’t Stop the Feeling

I got this feeling inside my soul
It goes electric, wavy when I turn it on
I’m doing a mitzvah,
I’m coming home
We’re flying up, got tzitzis, when we in our zone

I got my Torah in my pocket
Got that good soul leading me
I feel that pleasure in my soul when it does pop, ooh
I can take my eyes up off it, moving so phenomenally
Reachin’ out, my soul can rock it, so don’t stop

And when I hear that voice inside go
“Nowhere to hide, you don’t need to grow
Just be a body, you already know
So just imagine, just imagine, just imagine”
I’m not gonna listen to ya; just grow, grow, grow yeah
Goodness creeping up on me Torah – grow, grow, grow, c’mon
All those mitzvahs I should do
Torah, learn and know yeah
And my soul ain’t leaving soon, here I grow, yeah

I can’t stop the feeling
So just grow, grow, grow
I can’t stop the feeling
So here we go, go, go, come on

Ooh, it’s something magical
It’s Rosh Hashanah, time to choose, souls yearning on
Don’t need no lying, I’ve got control
I fly so high, no cheating, out my comfort zone

‘Cause I got my Torah in my pocket
Got that good soul telling me
I got to use all my potential, just choose life, ooh
Time to make that greater vision, living so phenomenally
Rosh Hashanah’s gonna rock it, and that’s right

Open machzor cuz everything goes
A new beginning when God is so close
Makin’ choices when shofars are blown
So just imagine, just imagine, just imagine
Love that inner Jew in you, just dance, dance, dance
Feeling good, good, creeping up on you
So just dance, dance, dance, come on
All those mitzvahs you can do
So just dance, dance, dance
And my soul ain’t leaving soon, so keep dancing

I can’t stop the feeling
We got this feeling everybody
I can’t stop the feeling
We got this feeling in my soul
I can’t stop the feeling
We got this feeling everybody
I can’t stop the feeling
We got this feeling in my soul
I can’t stop the feeling
We got this feeling everybody, come on
