# WIDELIGHT *Let Your Light Reach Somebody.* **[INTRO — Bright African Guitar, Handclaps, Soft Female Vocal]** Oh-eh-oh! Ah-ya-ya! One little light… Another little light… Look how far we can go! *(Percussion builds)* Wide, wide! WIDELIGHT! Everybody shine tonight! *(Bass drops)* **[CHORUS — Immediate Afro-House Dance Hook]** Wide, wide, WIDELIGHT! Everybody shine tonight! Hey-ya-ya! Hey-ya-yo! Let the happy feeling grow! Wide, wide, WIDELIGHT! Spread your love from side to side! Hands up high! Feet down low! WIDELIGHT! Let the whole world glow! **[VERSE 1 — Bouncy Afrobeats, Warm Highlife Guitar]** Dey spark wey dey shine for darkness, Dey voice wey no one go hear. Then another voice join dey sing, And the whole world catch the cheer. Where walls dey hide us from each other, Now we dey build bridges wide. Every dream fit find im doorway, Every heart fit find a side. There’s a rhythm wey dey call us, There’s a feeling wey dey flow. When we help another person, More hope we fit let go. Sweefin dey bring new ways to connect, To create, exchange, and grow. When plenty people get a chance, More things we all fit show. **[PRE-CHORUS — Rising Female Harmonies]** Feel the rhythm for your body, Feel the music for your feet. Take a step and bring somebody Into this amazing beat. Every hand fit lift another, Every voice fit sing along. When the whole world move together, Let the celebration carry on! **[CHORUS — Full Afro-House Dance Drop]** Wide, wide, WIDELIGHT! Everybody shine tonight! Hey-ya-ya! Hey-ya-yo! Let the happy feeling grow! Wide, wide, WIDELIGHT! Spread your love from side to side! Hands up high! Feet down low! WIDELIGHT! Let the whole world glow! **[POST-CHORUS — Viral Dance Chant]** Left! Left! (Hey!) Right! Right! (Hey!) Clap your hands and feel alright! Step! Step! (Hey!) Turn! Turn! (Hey!) Let the happy feeling burn! Wide! (Hey!) Light! (Hey!) Everybody shine tonight! **[VERSE 2 — Female Lead, Rolling Amapiano Bass]** Mama dey hustle for the market, With a dream wey she dey build strong. Papa dey find time for family, After work wey don last long. There’s a child wey dey dream of flying, There’s a farmer wey dey plant seeds. There’s a maker with bright ideas, Creating things the world may need. From the village to the city, From the mountains to the sea, Every person get im story, Every life get dignity. And when more people trade and prosper, When dem learn and when dem share, We fit build a world of chances, With opportunity everywhere. **[PRE-CHORUS — Choir Builds]** Feel the rhythm for your body, Feel the music for your feet. Take a step and bring somebody Into this amazing beat. Every hand fit lift another, Every voice fit sing along. When the whole world move together, Let the celebration carry on! **[CHORUS — Full Amapiano Log-Drum Drop]** Wide, wide, WIDELIGHT! Everybody shine tonight! Hey-ya-ya! Hey-ya-yo! Let the happy feeling grow! Wide, wide, WIDELIGHT! **[VERSE]** Tasi ni aen e naake! Raa n nin! Tawa n an! RIBWEN!
