Song Meaning
Newsboys spend most of this song in exaggeration for effect — "the dumb get wise, and the crime rates drop, and the markets rise," bullies making nice, "the ozone layer shows improvement." None of it is meant literally; it's a wink at how big the claim actually is.
The real point sits underneath the jokes: "all the Living Dead wanna leave their Zombie Mob... it's a touching scene when they all come clean." Beneath the playful imagery is a serious claim about people changing direction, dressed up so it doesn't sound like a sermon.
The bridge drops the humor entirely and says exactly what the song has been pointing to: "this is the message we spread, bringin' life to the dead, this is the Gospel expo, follows wherever we go." Paul's description of people once dead in trespasses being made alive, and Jesus' commission to go into all the world with good news, both sit underneath a song more interested in throwing a party than sounding solemn about carrying the same message.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Wherever we go, bluebirds sing
And the flowers bloom
And the grass gets green
It's a curious thing
But it's just our thing
Wherever we go, the bees behave
In the treetops, squirrels smile and wave
It's a curious thing
And it's humbling
Where we go, little glow-worms glow
Little roadrunners run ahead
Gonna tell their friends
Little mice, little men
Get 'em all excited
All invited
[CHORUS]
Hands up,
Holler back here,
Let's throw this party in gear,
We brought the welcome mat,
Wherever we go, that's where the party's at.
Hands up,
Holler back now
We don't claim any know how,
We're given God all that,
Wherever we go, that's where the party's at.
Wherever we go, the dumb get wise
And the crime rates drop
And the markets rise
It's a curious thing
But it's just our thing
Bullies make nice, crooks repent
And the ozone layer shows improvement
It's a curious thing
And it's humbling
Wherever we're led
All the Living Dead
Wanna leave their Zombie Mob
It's a touching scene when they all come clean
God help us, we just love our job
[CHORUS]
(Throw your hands up high)
(High, throw your hands up,)
(Throw your hands up, high.)
(High, throw your hands up,)
(Throw your hands up, high.)
This is the message we spread,
Bringin' life to the dead.
This is the Gospel expo,
Follows wherever we go.
This is the message we spread,
Bringin' life to the dead.
This is the Good News expo,
Follows wherever we go.
[CHORUS until end]
