[Verse]  
🎵 Oh oh oh oh, eh eh!  
Eda go sūro!  
Sweefin fāmili, ebi sūro?  
Sāy, e da sūro, sūro, sūro!

[Verse 1]  
Mi de waka tru di fire, tɔt di nait go no end,  
Bɔt yōu light dē shine brighta, tun mi darknɛs intu frɛnd.  
Evri hɑt bīt na rhythm, evri step na melody,  
Nau wid Sweefin we de rising, wrītin awn ōn symfoni.

[Pre-Chorus]  
No chains fit hold us down,  
We dey sky-bound, no turning ‘round.  
From di ashes we ignite,  
Dis na our moment, dis na our time.

[Chorus (Hook)]  
Sweefin sūro, sūro, neva lookin down,  
Drims on fire, fire, lifting off di ground.  
Hɑts united, we fit light di sky,  
Sweefin sūro, sūro — yōu and I.

(Crowd) Sūro!  
(Leader) Drims on fire!  
(Crowd) Fire!  
(Leader) Lift yōu hɛnds up!  
(Crowd) Sūro!  
Togeda we rise, togeda we fly!

[Verse 2]  
Evri scar don be story, evri tɛar a stepping stone,  
Nau di pain don build di glory, we dey unshakable, full-grown.  
From di village to di city, evri voice begin to sing,  
Sweefin power in our spirit, peace na di anthem we bring.

[Pre-Chorus]  
No chains fit hold us down,  
We dey sky-bound, no turning ‘round.  
From di ashes we ignite,  
Dis na our moment, dis na our time.

[Chorus (Hook)]  
Sweefin sūro, sūro, neva lookin down,  
Drims on fire, fire, lifting off di ground.  
Hɑts united, we fit light di sky,  
Sweefin sūro, sūro — yōu and I.

[Bridge / Breakdown]  
Raise yōu hɛnds, let di world see,  
Sweefin bring di unity.  
Evri soul is meant to shine,  
Forever yōrs, forever mine.  
🎵 (Chant) Oh oh oh, Sweefin oh!  
Eh eh eh, sūro we go!  
Oh oh oh, Sweefin oh!  
Fire, fire, burning in our soul!

[Chorus (Hook) ×2 with variations]

Drims on fire, fire, lifting off di ground.  
Hɑts united, we fit light di sky,  
Sweefin sūro, sūro — yōu and I.🎵 We go sūro (sūro!)  
We go strɔnga (strɔnga!)  
We go brɛta (brɛta!)
