Lyrics

**[Intro — A Cappella Female Vocal, Handclaps, Rising African Percussion]**

Way-oh, way-oh!  
Weh fi find di way-oh!

Way-oh, way-oh!  
Mek di whole world seh-oh!

*(Children's choir)*  
Hey! Hey! Hey!

*(Deep bass drops)*

WIDAWAY!

**[Verse 1 — Warm, Infectious Afrobeats Groove]**

Likkle light a shine cross di street,  
Sumbady a dance to a fresh new beat.  
Yesterday dem lost, cya find di door,  
Now dem dreamin’ fi a likkle more.

Ooman wid a big plan inna hand,  
Young mon a learn all weh him can.  
Every dream start from somethin' small,  
Every voice fi get dem chance fi call.

From a whisper to a sweet melody,  
From stranger to family,  
We can carve a path weh neva been,  
And bring in one more friend.

**[Pre-Chorus — Rising Female Harmonies]**

Yuh feel it inna yuh feet?  
Yuh hear di joyful beat?

When di world seh, “Not today,”  
Weh fi find another way!

Put yuh hands up, mek dem fly,  
Thousand reasons why.

When di drum dem start fi play,  
Ev'rybody shout and say!

**[Chorus — Explosive Afro-House Dance Hook]**

Way-oh, way-oh!  
Weh fi find di way-oh!

WIDAWAY! WIDAWAY!

Hey-ya-ya! Hey-ya-yo!  
Mek di good vibes grow!

Way-oh, way-oh!

One more chance, one more day,  
One more dream pon di way!

WIDAWAY! WIDAWAY!  
Weh fi find di way-oh!

**[Post-Chorus — Viral Dance Chant]**

Step inna di morning light!

Clap! (Hey!)

Feel di rhythm, mek it burn!

Way-oh! Way-oh!  
Ev'rybody find yuh flow!

**[Verse 2 — Female Lead, Bright Highlife Guitar]**

Mama count wah she mek today,  
Plan how fi grow in a new way.  
Papa find time fi stay at home,  
Wid likkle peace fi call him own.

Pickney want fi touch di sky,  
Farmer watch di clouds pass by.  
Creator wid a new tool in hand,  
Student dreamin' afta school done.

From di village to di city light,  
From di mountain to di coast at night,  
Sweefin help di people connect and trade,  
So new opportunities can be made.

**[Pre-Chorus — Full Choir Builds]**

Yuh feel it inna yuh feet?  
Yuh hear di joyful beat?

**[Chorus — Full Amapiano Log-Drum Drop]**

Way-oh, way-oh!

One more dream pon di way!

WIDAWAY! WIDAWAY!

**[Bridge — Emotional Piano, Warm Choir]**

Some road tek a likkle longer,  
Some dream need another try.  
Some people carry heavy burden,  
While di years a pass dem by.

[Verse]  
But a chance cyaan change di tale,  
An' a hand can lighten di weight.  
When we share di tings we learn,  
We can help dem find di way straight.

So if yuh pass through di gate,  
Leave it open fi a while.  
There's anotha dream behind yuh,  
An' anotha waitin' smile.
