[Krio] Upbeyond

Lyrics

**[Intro — Distant Choir, African Drums, Rising Synth]**

Eh-oh, eh-oh!  
Yeri di footstep dey kam!

From wan smol lane to plenti mo,  
Yeri di beat dey knock pan door.

Oh-ya, oh-ya!  
Yu kin yeri di pipul sing?

Up, up, beyond!  
Keep di gud tin goin' on!

**[Verse 1 — Percussive Afrobeat Groove]**

Las naet wan kandle light di street,  
Dis monin' na tousand foot.  
Di wan dem we nor get voice  
Dey find word fo lead di choice.

Wey wall bin dey, we mek door,  
Wey doubt bin dey, we ask mo.  
With Sweefin help di pipul join,  
Mo kin create, exchange, progress.

No dream too smol fo change di way,  
No life too far fo rearrange.  
We nor need wait fo perfect sky,  
We kin build while sun dey rise.

**[Pre-Chorus — Handclaps and Rising Harmonies]**

Yu yeri am? (Yeri am!)  
Yu feel am? (Feel am!)

Somtin gud dey pan di move,  
Place dey fo me an yu.

Tek chance, lend han,  
Mek anoda dreamer stand.  
When di whole world sing along,  
Even smol voice sound strong!

**[Chorus — Explosive Global Dance Hook]**

Up, up, beyond!  
Keep di gud tin goin' on!

Move yu body, sing dis song,  
Everybody join di throng!

Up, up, beyond!  
Mek di old wall dem fall down!

Hey-oh, hey-oh, here we go,  
Watch million possibility grow!

Upbeyond! Upbeyond!  
Mek di rhythm carry on!

Wan mo han, wan mo chance,  
Giv di whole wide world a dance!

**[Post-Chorus — Festival Crowd Chant]**

Oh-ya-ya! Oh-ya-ya!  
Everybody, say
