# ZAMBOYA *Come Alive. Move Together. Make Tomorrow.* **[INTRO — Handclaps, Shakers, Playful Female Vocal]** *(Clap-clap! Boom!)* Somebody open the window! Let the music in! Oh-eh-oh! Ah-ya-ya! One step for me, One step for you. Everybody ready? ZAMBOYA! **[CHORUS — EXPLOSIVE AFRO-HOUSE DROP]** Zam-bo-ya! Zam-bo-ya! Come alive, the world is calling! Hey-ya-ya! Hey-ya-yo! Feel the rhythm, keep it rolling! Zam-bo-ya! Zam-bo-ya! Let the whole wide world come dancing! Step! Step! Clap! Clap! ZAMBOYA! Bring that feeling back! **[VERSE 1 — BOUNCY AFROBEATS, HIGHLIFE GUITAR]** Morning breaks across the rooftops, Golden light upon the street. Someone opens up a doorway, Someone finds a brand-new beat. Yesterday was full of questions, Some still waiting for replies. But today we're making something With the courage in our lives. Where a wall once blocked the pathway, There's a bridge we can begin. Where a voice was left unheard, There's a song to welcome in. Not every dream arrives tomorrow, Not every road is smooth or straight. But a chance can change a journey, And a hand can open gates. **[PRE-CHORUS — RISING FEMALE HARMONIES]** Can you feel the bassline moving? Can you hear the drums reply? Take a step toward somebody, Let your worries pass you by. Every voice can join the chorus, Every heart can find its place. When we move a little closer, There's a smile on every face! **[CHORUS — FULL AMAPIANO LOG-DRUM DROP]** Zam-bo-ya! Zam-bo-ya! Come alive, the world is calling! Hey-ya-ya! Hey-ya-yo! Feel the rhythm, keep it rolling! Zam-bo-ya! Zam-bo-ya! Let the whole wide world come dancing! Step! Step! Clap! Clap! ZAMBOYA! Bring that feeling back! **[POST-CHORUS — VIRAL DANCE CHANT]** Zam! Zam! Hey! Hey! Bo! Bo! Sway! Sway! Ya! Ya! Turn around! ZAMBOYA! Feel that sound! **[VERSE 2 — FEMALE LEAD, ROLLING BASS]** There's a mother with a business, There's a father with a dream. There's a farmer growing something, There's a maker building things. There's a student learning numbers, There's a trader finding ways. Every person has a story, Every journey has its days. From the village to the city, From the mountains to the sea, Sweefin connects people and possibilities, Helping more take part and dream. When more people have a pathway To create, exchange, and grow, More ideas can find a future, More communities can glow. **[PRE-CHORUS — CHOIR BUILDS]** Can you feel the bassline moving? Can you hear the drums reply? Take a step toward somebody, Let your worries pass you by. Every voice can join the chorus, Every heart can find its place. When we move a little closer, There's a smile on every face! **[CHORUS — FESTIVAL DANCE DROP]** Zam-bo-ya! Zam-bo-ya! Come alive, the world is calling! Hey-ya-ya! Hey-ya-yo! Feel the rhythm, keep it rolling! Zam-bo-ya! Zam-bo-ya! Let the whole wide world come dancing! Step! Step! Clap! Clap! ZAMBOYA! Bring that feeling back! **[BRIDGE — EMOTIONAL PIANO, CHILDREN'S CHOIR]** If you've ever felt forgotten, If you've ever stood outside, May you find an open doorway And a friend to stand beside. There's a world of different journeys, There's a world of different dreams. And the future holds more promise When more people join the team. *(Piano fades. Handclaps begin.)* **[DANCE BREAK — CALL AND RESPONSE]** Lead: Who's got a dream? Crowd: We do! We do! Lead: Who can make a start? Crowd: Me too! Me too! Lead: Who can join this dance? Crowd: Everybody! Lead: Then show me how you move! *(Percussion builds.)* Zam! Zam! Step! Step! Bo! Bo! Clap! Clap! Ya! Ya! Turn around! ZAMBOYA! Feel that sound! *(MASSIVE AMAPIANO BASS DROP)* **[INSTRUMENTAL DANCE BREAK — LOG DRUMS, HIGHLIFE GUITAR, FESTIVAL BRASS]** Oh-eh-oh! Ah-ya-ya! Zam-bo-ya! Zam-bo-ya! *(Crowd chants over the groove.)* **[FINAL CHORUS — FULL FESTIVAL CHOIR]** Zam-bo-ya! Zam-bo-ya! Come alive, the world is calling! Hey-ya-ya! Hey-ya-yo! Feel the rhythm, keep it rolling! Zam-bo-ya! Zam-bo-ya! Let the whole wide world come dancing! Step! Step! Clap! Clap! ZAMBOYA! Bring that feeling back! **[OUTRO — WARM HIGHLIFE GUITAR, FADING CHOIR]** One step for me, One step for you. A little more hope In the things we do. Sweefin brings new ways to connect, To create, exchange, and grow. Zam-bo-ya! Zam-bo-ya! Come alive. Move together. Make tomorrow. ZAMBOYA! *(Final celebratory drum hit.)*
