Take a ride back in history:
Let’s review the facts of eternity
To the children of Israel
And the burning sands and the desert heat...
Bitter hearts in the wilderness,
God saw that they would not confess.
With a velvet touch and an iron hand
He dragged them to the promised land.
Ev’rything that can be will be.
Ev’rything that can be will be...
(Shaken, shaken, shaken, shaken.)
Shaken, shaken, shaken, shaken.
Shaken, shaken, shaken, shaken.
God is going to shake the whole thing down.
Raise your hands children, lift them high,
Let’s join our hearts; walk in the light.
There’s a desert, there’s a wilderness
Separating us from a better life.
See, together we can walk through fire,
We can face the flame, we can reach the higher
Ground that waits in the promised land,
’Cause only faith and love will stand;
And ev’rything that can be will be.
Ev’rything that can be will be... (yeah)
Shaken, shaken, shaken, shaken.
Some things last forever.
Shaken, shaken, shaken, shaken.
Some things fade away.
Shaken, shaken, shaken, shaken.
God is going to shake the whole thing down.
(Ooh, shake the whole thing down.)
Ev’rything that can be will be.
Ev’rything that can be will be.
Ev’rything that can be will be.
Ev’rything that can be will be...
Shaken, shaken, shaken, shaken.
Shaken, shaken, shaken, shaken.
Some things fade away.
Shaken, shaken, shaken, shaken.
Faith, hope and love will last eternally, yeah!
Shaken, shaken, shaken, shaken.
Some things last forever.
Shaken, shaken, shaken, shaken.
Some things fade away.
Shaken, shaken, shaken, shaken.
God is going to shake the whole thing.
God is going to shake the whole thing.
God is going to shake the whole thing up!
