# LUMBALELE *Let Hope Dance Across the World* [INTRO — INSTANT AFRICAN PERCUSSION, PLAYFUL FEMALE VOCAL] *(Three handclaps. A bouncing bassline answers.)* Hey! Who told you the sun won't shine again? Who told you your dreams are too big? Listen! There's a rhythm inside you That nobody can take away! Oh-oh-oh! Eh-ya-ya! Everybody ready? LUMBALELE! [CHORUS — EXPLOSIVE AFRO-HOUSE / AMAPIANO DROP] Lumba-lele! Lumba-lele! Feel that joy from head to toe! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! Let the whole wide world know! Lumba-lele! Lumba-lele! There's a million ways to grow! Step into the sunshine! Let your happiness overflow! LUMBALELE! Let the good vibrations flow! [VERSE 1 — BOUNCY AFROBEATS, HIGHLIFE GUITAR] When the night was at its darkest, There was still a little flame. Every heart that kept believing Held a hope that never changed. Where the walls once stood between us, We can build a bridge instead. Where the road seemed closed forever, There's another way ahead. There's a voice that needs a hearing, There's a hand that needs a friend. There's a dream that's barely started, There's a story yet to end. Every person has a purpose, Every life deserves a chance. And the future feels more hopeful When we welcome all to dance. [PRE-CHORUS — RISING FEMALE HARMONIES] Can you feel it in the rhythm? Can you hear it in the sound? It's the heartbeat of tomorrow Moving through the dancing crowd. Take a step and keep on going, Let your courage lead the way. There's a world of possibility Waiting for another day! [CHORUS — FULL AMAPIANO LOG-DRUM DROP] Lumba-lele! Lumba-lele! Feel that joy from head to toe! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! Let the whole wide world know! Lumba-lele! Lumba-lele! There's a million ways to grow! Step into the sunshine! Let your happiness overflow! LUMBALELE! Let the good vibrations flow! [POST-CHORUS — VIRAL DANCE CHANT] Lum! Lum! Step to the right! Ba! Ba! Step to the left! Le! Le! Hands up high! LUMBALELE! Let your spirit fly! Oh-eh-oh! Oh-eh-ah! Everybody! Here we are! [VERSE 2 — SOULFUL FEMALE LEAD, ROLLING BASS] There's a mother with ambition, There's a father making plans. There's a child who sees tomorrow Full of wonders in their hands. There's a farmer with a harvest, There's a trader with a dream. There's a young inventor building Something no one's ever seen. From the village to the city, From the mountains to the sea, Every person brings a talent, Every life has dignity. Sweefin connects people and possibilities, Helping more participate and grow. When opportunity reaches further, More dreams can begin to show. [PRE-CHORUS — CHOIR BUILDS] Can you feel it in the rhythm? Can you hear it in the sound? It's the heartbeat of tomorrow Moving through the dancing crowd. Take a step and keep on going, Let your courage lead the way. There's a world of possibility Waiting for another day! [CHORUS — FESTIVAL DANCE DROP] Lumba-lele! Lumba-lele! Feel that joy from head to toe! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! Let the whole wide world know! Lumba-lele! Lumba-lele! There's a million ways to grow! Step into the sunshine! Let your happiness overflow! LUMBALELE! Let the good vibrations flow! [BRIDGE — EMOTIONAL PIANO, CHILDREN'S CHOIR] If you've ever felt forgotten, If you've ever stood alone, May you find an open doorway, May you find a place called home. If your dreams have been delayed, If the road has been too long, May you find a little courage In the words of this song. You are more than any setback, You are more than yesterday. There's a future worth creating, There's a better way to make. And the greatest gift we offer Is the hope we help restore. When we lift another person, We can open one door more. [BREAKDOWN — MUSIC FADES TO ONE HEARTBEAT] *(Soft female voice)* You are not your circumstances. You are not your yesterday. You are a world of possibilities. And your story is still being written. *(A second heartbeat.)* So take one step… Then another… And let the whole world dance with you! [DANCE BREAK — CALL AND RESPONSE] Lead: Have you got a dream? Crowd: YES, WE DO! Lead: Have you got a future? Crowd: YES, WE DO! Lead: Can we build it together? Crowd: YES, WE CAN! Lead: Then let me see you dance! [THE LUMBALELE STEP — PERCUSSION BUILDS] Lum! Lum! Step to the right! Ba! Ba! Step to the left! Le! Le! Hands up high! LUMBALELE! Let your spirit fly! *(MASSIVE AMAPIANO BASS DROP)* [INSTRUMENTAL DANCE BREAK — LOG DRUMS, HIGHLIFE GUITAR, FESTIVAL BRASS] Lumba-lele! Lumba-lele! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! *(Crowd chants over the groove.)* [FINAL CHORUS — FULL GLOBAL CHOIR] Lumba-lele! Lumba-lele! Feel that joy from head to toe! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! Let the whole wide world know! Lumba-lele! Lumba-lele! There's a million ways to grow! Step into the sunshine! Let your happiness overflow! LUMBALELE! Let the good vibrations flow! [FINAL REFRAIN — SOARING FEMALE VOCALS] A billion hearts! A billion dreams! A world of possibilities For you and me! A b
