**[BRIDGE — Piano, Children's Choir, Gentle Handclaps]**

Bia door wey open,
Hold am wide for person wey new.

If you sabi way wey fit make am,
Share di things wey help you pass through.

No be one road to progress,
No be promise without care.

But world wey get space for others
Na better world to share.

*(Music fades to handclaps)*

To create, exchange, and grow.

When we lift each other,
We all rise!

*(Final triumphant drum hit)*
