Wyclef Jean – Celebrate lyrics

[Wyclef]

Get up, you would celebrate (celebrate, everything's gonna be ok, how I miss those days)

[Wyclef (Patti)]

We worked it, and earned it, God knows we deserved it (get up)
Keep on striving, I know you'll make it

Lord knows how I miss those days

[Patti (Wyclef)]
Dressing up for church on Easter Sunday (how I miss those days), get up
Doing the electric slide at every party (how I miss those days)
Oh, if only you knew, what I've been through (you would celebrate)
You would celebrate (everybody just celebr
