Mek di whole world say-oh! *(Children's choir)* Hey! Hey! Hey! *(Deep bass drops)* WIDAWAY! **[Verse 1 — Warm, Infectious Afrobeats Groove]** Lek wan light de 'cross di road, Padi dem de dance to new kode. Yesterday dem nor sabi door, Now dem wan for dream some more. Na wan woman wit plan for trade, Na wan young man wit new upgrade. Every dream dey start small-small, Every voice need chance for call. From whisper to melody, From stranger to family, We go make road wey nor bin dey, And invite somebody for stay. **[Pre-Chorus — Rising Female Harmonies]** Yu feel am na yu foot? Yu hear dat joyful beat? When di world say, “Nor today,” We go find anoda way! Raise yu hand dem, mek dem fly, Plenty reasons wey we try.

Pikin wan touch di sky, Farmer watch cloud dem pass by. Maker wit brand-new tool, Student dey dream after school. From village to city light, From mountain to coastal night, Sweefin help for link and trade, New chance dem go be made. **[Pre-Chorus — Full Choir Builds]** Yu feel am na yu foot? Yu hear dat joyful beat? When di world say, “Nor today,” We go find anoda way! Raise yu hand dem, mek dem fly, Plenty reasons wey we try.
