Di riddim deh inna yuh Nuhbody cyan tek weh! Oh-oh-oh! Eh-ya-ya! Everybody ready? LUMBALELE! [CHORUS — EXPLOSIVE AFRO-HOUSE / AMAPIANO DROP] Lumba-lele! Lumba-lele! Feel di joy from head to toe! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! Make di whole world know! Lumba-lele! Lumba-lele! Nuff ways fi grow! Step in di sunshine! Mek yuh happiness overflow! LUMBALELE! Good vibes a flow! [VERSE 1 — BOUNCY AFROBEATS, HIGHLIFE GUITAR] When di night did dark, Still a likkle flame a shine. Every heart weh still believing, Hold di hope weh never gone. Where di wall used to divide wi, Build a bridge in place. When di road look closed forever, Another way inna di race. There's a voice weh need fi talk, There's a hand weh need a fren. There's a dream just a start, Fi di story cya end. Every soul have dem purpose, Every life deserve di chance. And di future look brighter, When we welcome di dance. [PRE-CHORUS — RISING FEMALE HARMONIES] Feel it inna di riddim? Hear it inna di sound? Heartbeat of tomorrow Inna di dancing crowd. Tek a step and keep it movin', Courage a lead di way. Whole world of possibility, Waitin' fi di brighter day! [CHORUS — FULL AMAPIANO LOG-DRUM DROP] Lumba-lele! Lumba-lele! Feel di joy from head to toe! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! Make di whole world know!

[VERSE 2 — SOULFUL FEMALE LEAD, ROLLING BASS] Mother wid ambition, Father a make di plan. Child see tomorrow, Full a wonder inna dem hand. Farmer wid di harvest, Trader wid a dream. Young inventor building, Something never seen. From di village to di city, From di mountain to di sea. Every person a bring talent, Every life have dignity. Sweefin connect people, possibilities, More fi participate, grow. Opportunity reach further, More dreams fi show. [PRE-CHORUS — CHOIR BUILDS] Feel it inna di riddim? Hear it inna di sound? Heartbeat of tomorrow Inna di dancing crowd. Tek a step and keep it movin', Courage a lead di way. Whole world of possibility, Waitin' fi di brighter day! [CHORUS — FESTIVAL DANCE DROP] Lumba-lele!

Good vibes a flow! [BRIDGE — EMOTIONAL PIANO, CHILDREN'S CHOIR] If yuh eva feel lost, If yuh eva feel alone, Mi hope yuh find a welcome, Mi hope yuh find a home. If yuh dreams dem haffi wait, If di journey feel so long, Mi wish yuh find di courage Inna di words weh mi a sing. Yuh bigger than di setback, Yuh stronger dan yesterday. Di future a fi mek, An there's a better way. An di greatest gift wi share Is di hope we gi back. When wi lift up one anedda, Wi open up one more track. [BREAKDOWN — MUSIC FADES TO ONE HEARTBEAT] *(Soft female voice)* Yuh no define by yuh struggles. Yuh no define by yesterday. Yuh deh full a possibilities.
