# WIDAWAY *Sweefin Music — Gil Version* **[Intro — A Cappella Female Vocal, Handclaps, Rising African Percussion]** Way-oh, way-oh! Tawen finda way-oh! Way-oh, way-oh! Dun de world a say-oh! *(Children's choir)* Hey! Hey! Hey! *(Deep bass drops)* WIDAWAY! **[Verse 1 — Warm, Infectious Afrobeats Groove]** Di light a shine across di street, Somebody dancing to a brand-new beat. Yesterday dem couldn’t find di door, Now dem dreaming for a little more. There’s a woman with a plan so bright, There’s a young man learning day and night. Every dream start with a little spark, Every voice deserve a chance to mark. From a whisper to a melody, From a stranger to a family, We can build a road where none has been, And welcome in another kin. **[Pre-Chorus — Rising Female Harmonies]** Can you feel it in your feet? Can you hear di joyful beat? When di world say, “Not today,” We can find another way! Put your hands up, let dem fly, There’s a thousand reasons why. When di drums begin to play, Everybody shout and say! **[Chorus — Explosive Afro-House Dance Hook]** Way-oh, way-oh! Tawen finda way-oh! WIDAWAY! WIDAWAY! Let di music lead di way! Hey-ya-ya! Hey-ya-yo! Let dat happy feeling grow! Way-oh, way-oh! Everybody say-oh! One more chance, one more day, One more dream along di way! WIDAWAY! WIDAWAY! Tawen finda way-oh! **[Post-Chorus — Viral Dance Chant]** Left! (Hey!) Right! (Hey!) Step into di morning light! Clap! (Hey!) Turn! (Hey!) Feel dat rhythm, let it burn! Way-oh! Way-oh! Everybody find your flow! **[Verse 2 — Female Lead, Bright Highlife Guitar]** Mama counting all she made today, Planning how to grow another way. Papa finding time to be at home, With a little peace to call his own. There’s a child who wants to touch di sky, There’s a farmer watching clouds roll by. There’s a maker with a brand-new tool, There’s a student dreaming after school. From di village to di city lights, From di mountains to di coastal nights, Sweefin helps more people connect and trade, So new opportunities can be made. **[Pre-Chorus — Full Choir Builds]** Can you feel it in your feet? Can you hear di joyful beat? When di world say, “Not today,” We can find another way! Put your hands up, let dem fly, There’s a thousand reasons why. When di drums begin to play, Everybody shout and say! **[Chorus — Full Amapiano Log-Drum Drop]** Way-oh, way-oh! Tawen finda way-oh! WIDAWAY! WIDAWAY! Let di music lead di way! Hey-ya-ya! Hey-ya-yo! Let dat happy feeling grow! Way-oh, way-oh! Everybody say-oh! One more chance, one more day, One more dream along di way! WIDAWAY! WIDAWAY! Tawen finda way-oh! **[Bridge — Emotional Piano, Warm Choir]** Some roads take a little longer, Some dreams need another try. Some people carry heavy worries, While di years go passing by. [Verse] Mara gini ma suta wende, Na ngomi imara chuki. Pamoja tukiendelea, Tunaweza ongoza njia. Ukifika kwenye mlango, Usifunge, acha wazi. Ndoto nyingine iko nyuma, Tabasamu linasubiri. *(Ngoma inaanza kujenga)* **[Dance Break — Call-and-Response]** Kiongozi: Tunaweza pata njia? Umati: Way-oh! Way-oh! Kiongozi: Tunaweza leta mabadiliko? Umati: Hey-oh! Hey-oh! Kiongozi: Nani anajiunga na dansi? Umati: Kila mtu! Kiongozi: Tunafanyaje? Umati: Tumia mwili! *(Mapumziko ya percussions)* Hatua kushoto! (Hey!) Hatua kulia! (Hey!) Piga makofi! (Hey!) Iache iangaze! (Hey!) WIDAWAY! WIDAWAY! Tunaweza pata njia-oh! *(Muziki wa Afro-House unaendelea kuchezwa)* **[Final Chorus — Full Festival Choir, Brass, Percussion]** Way-oh, way-oh! Tunaweza pata njia-oh! WIDAWAY! WIDAWAY! Acha muziki uongoze njia! Hey-ya-ya! Hey-ya-yo! Acha furaha ikue! Way-oh, way-oh! Kila mtu aseme-oh! Fursa nyingine, siku nyingine, Ndoto nyingine njiani! WIDAWAY! WIDAWAY! Tunaweza pata njia-oh! **[Outro — Guitar, Choir, Fading Percussion]** Way-oh, way-oh! Tunaweza pata njia-oh! Kutoka kwa mkulima hadi ndoto, Kutoka kwa mjenzi hadi mtoto, Sweefin inaunganisha safari zetu Kwenye njia na maili nyingi. Way-oh… way-oh… WIDAWAY! *(Pigo la mwisho la ngoma)*
