Lyrics
**[INTRO — A Single Heartbeat, Soft African Drums, Distant Voices]** *(Whispered female vocal)* Mi have a voice... Yuh have a voice... Wi all have a voice... *(A distant drum answers.)* Oh-oh-oh! Eh-ya-ya! Yuh can hear mi? *(Crowd responds)* Wi hear yuh! Yuh can feel mi? Wi feel yuh! *(Drums build. Silence for one beat.)* **[POWERFUL FEMALE SHOUT]** MEK DI WORLD HEAR WI! *(Explosive bass drop)* **[CHORUS — IRRESISTIBLE AFRO-HOUSE DANCE HOOK]** Say it! Sing it! Mek yuh voice dem heard! Move it! Feel it! Mek yuh freedom turn! Oh-eh-oh! Oh-eh-ah! Mek yuh spirit touch di stars! Hands up high! Feet pon fire! UNSILENCED! Wi rise higher! Hey! Hey! Everybody! Mek yuh freedom move yuh body! **[VERSE 1 — BOUNCY AFROBEATS, BRIGHT HIGHLIFE GUITAR]** Mi born under di open sky, Wid a heart an' a mind fi mi own. Mi can question wah mi see 'round mi, Mi can mek mi feelings known. Yuh might see di world different, Yuh might choose another way. But differences nuh fi divide wi, Wi can listen wah odda say. Mek di writer tell di story, Mek di poet find di rhyme. Mek di teacher ask di questions, Mek di truth test over time. Nuh one haffi think like everybody, Nuh one haffi sing di same song. When wi mek room fi difference, Dat's weh freedom grow strong. **[PRE-CHORUS — RISING FEMALE HARMONIES]** Oh, mek di music carry, Every story, every name. Mek di voices rise together, Like a never-ending flame. Wi can question, Wi can learn. Wi can listen, Tek wi turn. An' when di rhythm bring wi closer, Mek di whole wide world respond! **[CHORUS — FULL AMAPIANO LOG-DRUM DROP]** Say it! Sing it! Mek yuh voice dem heard! Move it! Feel it! Mek yuh freedom turn! Oh-eh-oh! Oh-eh-ah! Mek yuh spirit touch di stars! Hands up high! Feet pon fire! UNSILENCED! Wi rise higher! Hey! Hey! Everybody! Mek yuh freedom move yuh body! **[POST-CHORUS — VIRAL DANCE CHANT]** Speak! Speak! Move yuh feet! Clap! Clap! Feel di beat! Turn! Turn! Mek it flow! Raise yuh hands! Let freedom grow! Oh-eh-oh! Oh-eh-ah! UNSILENCED! Here wi are! **[VERSE 2 — SOULFUL FEMALE LEAD, ROLLING BASS]** Dere's a madda wid a question, Dere's a fadda wid a dream. Dere's a student searchin' fi answer, Dere's a voice behind di screen. Dere's a farmer wid an opinion, Dere's a worka wid a plea. Dere's a child who waan fi understand Wah it mean fi live free. From di village to di city, From di mountains to di sea, Every person have a dignity Dat belong to humanity. Mek di powerful hear di people, Mek di people speak wid care. Mek di law protect wi freedoms, Mek justice treat wi fair. **[PRE-CHORUS — CHOIR BUILDS]** Oh, mek di music carry, Every story, every name. Mek di voices rise together, Like a never-ending flame. Wi can question, Wi can learn. Wi can listen, Tek wi turn. An' when di rhythm bring wi closer, **[CHORUS — MASSIVE FESTIVAL DROP]** Shout it! Sing it! Mek yuh voice get heard! Move it! Feel it! Mek yuh freedom twirl! Oh-eh-oh! Oh-eh-ah! Mek yuh spirit reach di stars! Hands up high! Foot dem a burn! UNSILENCED! We a rise up! Hey! Hey! Everybody! Mek yuh freedom move yuh body! **[BRIDGE — EMOTIONAL PIANO, CHILDREN'S CHOIR]** If mi words nuh match yuh words, Tell mi wah yuh see. If yuh thoughts nuh match mi thoughts, Yuh still keep yuh dignity. Wi fi answer words wid reason, Wi fi meet debate wid light. Wi nuh fi mek disagreement Tek weh nobody right. When di powerful get question, Mek di answers freely flow. When a peaceful voice get challenge, Mek di rule of law show. Freedom cyaan jus fi dem Who words we want fi hear. It haffi guard di voices Whe we question or hold dear. *(Music fades to a single heartbeat.)* **[SPOKEN WORD — QUIET FEMALE LEAD]** A voice nuh crime. A question nuh threat. A peaceful opinion Deserve fi be heard. *(One drumbeat.)* **[WHISPER]** Yuh hear we now? *(Crowd responds softly)* We hear yuh. **[DANCE BREAK — CALL AND RESPONSE]** Lead: Who have a voice? Crowd: EVERYBODY! Lead: Who deserve respect? Crowd: EVERYBODY! Lead: Who can speak dem mind? Crowd: EVERYBODY! Lead: Who can join dis dance? Crowd: EVERYBODY! *(Percussion builds rapidly.)* Talk! Talk! Move yuh feet! Step to di left! Step to di right! Clap two time! Turn 'round! Raise yuh hands! Feel dat sound! **[FEMALE LEAD — SHOUT]** UNSILENCED! *(MASSIVE AFRO-HOUSE BASS DROP)* **[INSTRUMENTAL DANCE BREAK — AMAPIANO LOG DRUMS, HIGHLIFE GUITAR, FESTIVAL BRASS]** Oh-eh-oh! Oh-eh-ah!
