  • Clap your hands, y'all, it's alright
    (Turn me up, turn me up, turn me up)
    Clap your hands, y'all, it's alright
    Clap your hands, y'all, it's alright (ah)
    Clap your hands, y'all, it's alright (oh)

    If tomorrow is Judgment Day (sing, mommy)
    And I'm standing on the front line, mm
    And the Lord ask me what I did with my life
    I will say I spent it with you
    Clap your hands, y'all, it's alright (it's alright)
    Clap your hands, y'all, it's alright

    If I wake up in World War 3 (World War 3)
    (In World War 3)
    I see destruction and poverty
    And I feel like I wanna go home
    It's okay (it's okay) if you're comin' with me
    Clap your hands, y'all, it's alright (it's alright)
    Clap your hands, y'all, it's alright
    Clap your hands, y'all, it's alright

    'Cause your love is my love
    And my love is your love
    It would take an eternity to break us
    And the chains of Amistad couldn't hold us
    'Cause your love is my love
    And my love is your love
    It would take an eternity to break us
    And the chains of Amistad couldn't hold us

    Clap your hands, y'all, it's alright (uh-huh)
    Clap your hands, y'all, it's alright
    Clap your hands, y'all, it's alright

    If I lose my fame and fortune (really don't mind)
    And I'm homeless on the street (on the street, oh, Lord)
    And I'm sleepin' in Grand Central Station (ooh, okay)
    It's okay if you're sleepin' with me
    Clap your hands, y'all, it's alright
    Clap your hands, y'all, it's alright

    As the years, they pass us by (the years, the years, the years)
    We stay young through each other's eyes (each other's eyes)
    And no matter how old we get, oh
    It's okay as long, as I got you, babe
    Clap your hands, y'all, it's alright
    Clap your hands, y'all, it's alright

    'Cause your love is my love
    And my love is your love (your love, your love, baby)
    It would take an eternity to break us
    And the chains of Amistad couldn't hold us
    'Cause your love is my love
    And my love is your love (my love is your love)
    It would take an eternity to break us
    And the chains of Amistad couldn't hold us

    If I should die this very day (very, very day)
    Don't cry (don't cry), 'cause on Earth, we wasn't meant to stay
    Clap your hands, y'all, it's alright
    And no matter what people say (really don't matter)
    Clap your hands, y'all, it's alright
    I'll be waiting for you after Judgement Day

    'Cause your love is my love
    And my love is your love
    It would take an eternity to break us
    And the chains of Amistad couldn't hold us (can't hold us)
    'Cause your love is my love
    And my love is your love (yes, it is)
    It would take an eternity to break us
    And the chains of Amistad couldn't hold us
    'Cause your love is my love
    And my love is your love
    It would take an eternity to break us (break us, baby)
    And the chains of Amistad couldn't hold us

    Clap your hands, y'all, it's alright
    (Clap your hands)
    Clap your hands, y'all, it's alright
    Clap your hands, y'all, it's alright
    Clap your hands, y'all, it's alright
    Clap your hands, y'all, it's alright
    Clap your hands, y'all, it's alright (clap your hands)
    Clap your hands, y'all, it's alright (I said the record is not over yet) Writer/s: Jerry Duplessis, Wyclef Jean

  • Dios Moagi from Tzaneen, South AfricaThis song is more about appreciation to a time well spent with a loved one. When you truly love, sometimes you'd feel like givin up your all just to be with someone. I do not know what Whitney was going through, but the lyrics depicts the longing and how much one can feel whole around someone they truly love, and hopefully insinuating that we might be looking to achieve the big feats in life when all that is necessary is to simply love and be loved fully without restraint.
