Gm
Energy is contagious
Enthusiasm spreads
D#
Tides respond to lunar gravitation
F
Everything turns in synchronous relation

Laughter is infectious
Excitement goes to my head
Winds are stirred by planets in rotation
Sparks ignite and spread new information

Chorus:
Gm                               D#
Respond, vibrate, feed back, resonate
D#            F
Sun dogs fire on the horizon
Gm
Meteor rain stars across the night
      D#
This moment may be brief
F                 Gm
But it can be so bright

Hope is epidemic
Optimism spreads
Bitterness breeds irritation
Ignorance breeds imitation

Chorus:
Respond, vibrate, feed back, resonate
Sun dogs fire on the horizon
Meteor rain stars across the night
This moment may be brief
But it can be so bright

Reflected in another source of light
When the moment dies
The spark still flies
Reflected in another pair of eyes

Dreams are sometimes catching
Desire goes to my head
Love responds to your invitation
Love responds to imagination

Chorus:
Respond, vibrate, feed back, resonate
Respond, vibrate, feed back, resonate
Sun dogs fire on the horizon
Meteor rain stars across the night
This moment may be brief
But it can be so bright

Reflected in another source of light
When the moment dies
The spark still flies
Reflected in another pair of eyes

Reflected in another source of light
When the moment dies
The spark still flies
Reflected in another pair of eyes

Reflected in another source of light
When the moment dies
The spark still flies
Reflected in another pair of eyes
