Lyrics
# WIDELIGHT *Let Your Light Reach Somebody.* **[INTRO — Bright African Guitar, Handclaps, Soft Female Vocal]** Oh-eh-oh! Ah-ya-ya! One small light… Another small light… Look how far we can go! *(Percussion builds)* Wide, wide! WIDELIGHT! Everybody shine tonight! *(Bass drops)* **[CHORUS — Immediate Afro-House Dance Hook]** Wide, wide, WIDELIGHT! Everybody shine tonight! Hey-ya-ya! Hey-ya-yo! Let the joy within us grow! Wide, wide, WIDELIGHT! Spread your love from side to side! Hands up high! Feet down low! WIDELIGHT! Let the whole world glow! **[VERSE 1 — Bouncy Afrobeats, Warm Highlife Guitar]** There was a spark in the shadows, A voice that no one could hear. Then another voice joined singing, And the world began to cheer. Where the walls once stood between us, Now we’re building bridges wide. Every dream deserves a passage, Every heart a place inside. There’s a rhythm in the distance, A feeling in the air. When we lift another person, Hope is something we can share. Sweefin brings new ways to connect, To create, exchange, and grow. When more people get a chance, There’s so much more that we can show. **[PRE-CHORUS — Rising Female Harmonies]** Feel the rhythm in your body, Feel the music in your feet. Take a step and bring somebody Into this amazing beat. Every hand can lift another, Every voice can sing along. When the whole world moves together, Let the celebration carry on! **[CHORUS — Full Afro-House Dance Drop]** Wide, wide, WIDELIGHT! Everybody shine tonight! Hey-ya-ya! Hey-ya-yo! Let the joy within us grow! Wide, wide, WIDELIGHT! Spread your love from side to side! Hands up high! Feet down low! WIDELIGHT! Let the whole world glow! **[POST-CHORUS — Viral Dance Chant]** Left! Left! (Hey!) Right! Right! (Hey!) Clap your hands and feel alright! Step! Step! (Hey!) Turn! Turn! (Hey!) Let the joy within us burn! Wide! (Hey!) Light! (Hey!) Everybody shine tonight! **[VERSE 2 — Female Lead, Rolling Amapiano Bass]** Mama’s working at the market, With a dream she’s building strong. Papa’s finding time for family, After working all day long. There’s a child who dreams of flying, There’s a farmer planting seeds. There’s a maker with a bright idea, Creating things the world may need. From the village to the city, From the mountains to the sea, Every person has a story, Every life has dignity. And when more people trade and prosper, When they learn and when they share, We can build a world of chances, With opportunity everywhere. **[PRE-CHORUS — Choir Builds]** Feel the rhythm in your body, Feel the music in your feet. Take a step and bring somebody Into this amazing beat. Every hand can lift another, Every voice can sing along. When the whole world moves together, Let the celebration carry on! **[CHORUS — Full Amapiano Log-Drum Drop]** Wide, wide, WIDELIGHT! Everybody shine tonight! Hey-ya-ya! Hey-ya-yo! Let the joy within us grow! Wide, wide, WIDELIGHT! **[VERSE]** Whakawhānui tō aroha ki ngā taha katoa! Ringa ki runga! Waewae ki raro! MARAMA NUI! Kia tiaho te ao katoa! **[BRIDGE — Emotional Piano, Children's Choir]** Kei hea rā te whaea e inoi ana Mō tētahi rā pai ake. Kei hea rā te matua e tūmanako ana Kia eke ngā tamariki ki tawhiti. Kei hea rā te moemoeā marie Me ngā kitenga kei te haere mai. Kei hea rā te kaihanga rangatahi E hanga ana i te moemoeā. He wero kei ia hīkoi, Ka piko ngā huarahi katoa. Engari ka whiti te ao āpōpō Ina ako tātou ki te āwhina hoa. Kaua e wareware ki te marama e kawe ana koe, Tukua kia tae atu ki tētahi atu. He ao o ngā āheinga Ina whiti te maha. *(Music fades — gentle handclaps begin)* **[DANCE BREAK — Call-and-Response]** Lead: Ko wai kei te whiti mai? Crowd: Kei konei! Kei konei! Lead: Ko wai kei te moemoeā? Crowd: Au hoki! Au hoki! Lead: Ko wai e kanikani? Crowd: Katoa! Lead: Me aha tāua? Crowd: Neke te tinana! *(Percussion builds)* Whānui! Whānui! Marama! Marama! Hipanga ki te mauī! Hipanga ki te katau! Pakipaki e rua! Huri noa! Whānui, whānui, MARAMA NUI! Tiaho mai koutou katoa! *(Extended Afro-House instrumental dance groove)* **[FINAL CHORUS — Festival Choir, Brass, Full Percussion]** Whānui, whānui, MARAMA NUI! Tiaho mai koutou katoa! Hey-ya-ya! Hey-ya-yo! Kia tipu te ngākau koa! Whānui, whānui, MARAMA NUI! Whakawhānui tō aroha ki ngā taha katoa! Ringa ki runga! Waewae ki raro! MARAMA NUI! Kia tiaho te ao katoa! **[OUTRO — Warm Guitar, Choir, Fading Percussion]** Oh-eh-oh! Ah-ya-ya! Mai i te kaiahuwhenua ki te moemoeā, Mai i te kaihanga ki te tamaiti, He ao o ngā āheinga Ina whānui te porowhita. Ka kawea mai te hono e Sweefin, Hei waihanga, hei whakawhiti, hei tipu. Whānui! Whānui! Marama! Marama! Kotahi te ao. Ia moemoeā. MARAMA NUI! *(Final celebratory drum hit)*
