Radiate Lyrics

[Refrain]
Radiate, radiate
Radiate, oh-oh, radiate

[Verse 4]
Follow your hands as they build, as they shape
As they follow your mind and rose like a wave
Take it and you

[Refrain]
Radiate, radiate
I'm going to watch you radiate, oh-oh, radiate

[Chorus]
Well these rocks, they hold heat
Pools of water cool your feet
As you walk, you believe
Every part of the dream


[Instrumental Outro]

What did Jack Johnson say about "Radiate"?
Genius Answer

In an interview with The Telegraph, Johnson stated that this song was about his middle son.

He does this thing where he walks around the house and you could be calling his name and he’s just in his world, where he’s painting a picture and he’s walking into it as he’s painting it and he’s making these noises – whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. So that song is just about the beautiful energy he radiates."
