Born to be lively, we're born to be lively
Born to be lively, we're born to be lively

So when you see Ziggy doing his thing
That's why he was born
And when you see Steve doing his thing
That's why he was born
We're on a positive track today
Well it's a positive track not trail
We're on a positive track today
Well it's a positive track not trail

Nothing they do, can keep us down. (people move!)
Nothing they say, can stop this crowd. (people move!)
Nothing they do, can keep us down. (people move!)
Nothing they say, can stop this crowd. (people move!)

We rejoice in good times, yea
We rejoice in bad times too, yea
So no matter what's going down
I say: Born fi lively push out your hand and move your body
Face no bend up like no soldier
Smile for the gal them make she feel irie
Nuff niceness in a the Ras party, born, born, born, born fi irie
Keep yourself high!
We're born to be lively, we're born to be lively
You're born to be lively, you're born to be lively
Ciddy's born to be lively, she's born to be lively
Sharon's born to be lively, she's born to be lively
So when you see Ciddy doing, Ciddy's doing her thing
That's why she was born
And when you see Sharon, Sharon's doing that thing
We're on a positive track today
Well it's a positive track not trail
We're on a positive track today
Well it's a positive track not trail, ey!

Nothing they do, can keep us down. (people move!)
Nothing they say, can stop this crowd. (people move!)

So no matter what's going down
I say: Born fi lively tell you again, although we tell you already
Life off your tam and fly you natty
Show me all the lady who is hotty hotty
Nuff niceness in a the Ras party, born, born, born, born fi lively
Keep yourself high! (keep yourself high!)
Keep yourself up now keep yourself high

Born to be lively, we're born to be lively
Said I'm having fun!
You're born to be lively, you're born to be lively
Everyone having fun!
