**[INTRO — Handclaps, Shakers, Playful Female Vocal]**

*(Clap-clap! Boom!)*

**[VERSE 1 — BOUNCY AFROBEATS, HIGHLIFE GUITAR]**

Mawnin' light a shine pon rooftop,
Golden sun a touch di street.
Somebody open up di doorway,
Find a beat, a brand-new treat.

Yesterday full a question,
Some still wait fi answers true.
But today we buildin' something
Wid di courage we a show.

Whey di wall did block di pathway,
Now a bridge we start fi build.
Whey di voice neva get heard,
Now a song a bring a thrill.

Not every dream reach fi tomorrow,
Not every road smooth and clear.
But a chance can change di story,
And a hand can open gear.

**[PRE-CHORUS — RISING FEMALE HARMONIES]**

Yuh feel di bass a move ya?
Yuh hear di drum a reply?

Tek a step towards somebody,
Mek yuh worries pass on by.

Every voice can join di chorus,
Every heart can find a space.

When we move a likkle closer,
Every face have a smile fi trace!

**[CHORUS — FULL AMAPIANO LOG-DRUM DROP]**

Zam-bo-ya! Zam-bo-ya!
Come alive, di world a call!

Hey-ya-ya! Hey-ya-yo!

Zam-bo-ya! Zam-bo-ya!
Mek di whole world start fi dance!

Step! Step!

**[VERSE 2 — FEMALE LEAD, ROLLING BASS]**

Mother wid a business,
Father wid a dream inna dem scheme.
Farmer growin' something bright,
Builder buildin' di scene.

Student learnin' dem figure,
Trader findin' new way.
Every person got a story,
Every journey got it day.

From di village to di city,
From di mountain to di sea,
Sweefin' connect di people,
Mek dem dream, mek dem free.

When di people find a path fi rise,
To create, exchange, and grow,
More ideas a find di future,
Community a start fi glow.

**[PRE-CHORUS — CHOIR BUILDS]**

Yuh feel di bass a move ya?
Yuh hear di drum a reply?

Every heart can find a space.

Every face have a smile fi trace!
