I know you’re tired of all this gray,
Of ugly news and empty days.
You don’t need another song
To tell you everything is wrong.

So put your worries on the floor,
You don’t need them anymore.
Tonight we’re gonna turn it around,
Let the music shake this town.

I know the world can bring you down,
But look around, you’re here right now.
Give me your hands, give me your voice,
Tonight you still have one more choice.

I’ll give you five minutes of joy,
Five minutes nothing can destroy.
Five minutes to forget the pain,
Five minutes dancing in the rain.

Five minutes of joy,
Come on, girls and boys!
Five minutes of joy,
Let the music be your voice!

I know there’s darkness everywhere,
I know sometimes life ain’t fair.
And maybe tomorrow brings the same,
But tonight we’re gonna play the game.

You came here carrying the weight,
But leave it outside the gate.
For just a little while tonight,
We’re gonna make everything feel right.

So raise your hands up to the sky,
Let that heavy feeling fly.
I don’t promise a brand-new world,
Just five good minutes, boys and girls.

I’ll give you five minutes of joy,
Five minutes nothing can destroy.
Five minutes to forget the pain,
Five minutes dancing in the rain.

Five minutes of joy,
Come on, girls and boys!
Five minutes of joy,
Let the music be your voice!

Hey!
I know you’ve had a long, long day.
I know the world has got its ways.
But right here…
Right now…
This is ours!

You give me your hands—
I’ll give you the beat.
You give me your troubles—
I’ll give you something sweet.

Five minutes!
— Are you ready?

Five minutes!
— Can you feel it?

Five minutes!
— Come on, everybody!

Five minutes of joy,
Five minutes nothing can destroy.
Five minutes to forget the pain,
Five minutes dancing in the rain.

Five minutes of joy,
Come on, girls and boys!
Five minutes of joy,
Tonight we’re making noise!

[Outro]
Five minutes of joy…
Maybe that’s all we need.
Five minutes of joy…
Come on, dance with me.

Five minutes of joy…
Let it carry through the night.
Five minutes of joy…
And maybe everything’s alright.
