# LIFTARA *When We Lift Each Other, We All Rise.* **[INTRO — African Percussion, Bright Guitar, Rising Crowd Vocals]** Hey-oh! Hey-oh! Sumbody lift yuh hand! Sumbody bring a fren! One, two, three— LIFTARA! *(Explosive bass drop)* **[CHORUS — Immediate Afro-House Dance Hook]** Lift-a, lift-a, LIFTARA! Higher, higher, yah we deh yah! Oh-eh-oh! Oh-eh-ah! Everybadi reach fi di star! Lift-a, lift-a, LIFTARA! Move yuh foot an' lift yuh heart! One fi yuh! One fi mi! Lift each odah— One, two, three! **[VERSE 1 — Driving Afrobeats, Rhythmic Guitar]** Pon di corner a di busy street, Woman open up har stall. She put har dream beside har basket, Ready fi di mornin' call. Cross di road, young man a watch, Wonder where him road might lead. She seh, “Come learn beside mi, Enough fi share a likkle seed.” One small kindness start a story, One new chance become a door. Wha' was once a lone journey Get likkle company once more. Sweefin bring new ways fi connect, Fi create, exchange, an' grow. When wi help each other forward, More we all fi do, yuh know. **[PRE-CHORUS — Rising Female Harmonies]** Yuh feel di ground beneath yuh? Yuh hear di drum dem begin? Tek di han' a sumbody near yuh, Mek di whole wide world join in! Wi nuh need fi climb alone, Wi nuh need fi race ahead. When wi mek space fi oddah, Brighter road fi we tread! **[CHORUS — Full Amapiano Log-Drum Drop]** Lift-a, lift-a, LIFTARA! Higher, higher, yah we deh yah! Oh-eh-oh! Oh-eh-ah! Everybadi reach fi di star! Lift-a, lift-a, LIFTARA! Move yuh foot an' lift yuh heart! One fi yuh! One fi mi! Lift each odah— One, two, three! **[POST-CHORUS — Viral Dance Chant]** Lift! Lift! Step! Step! Put yuh hands above yuh head! Left! Right! Turn roun'! Feel dat rhythm shake di groun'! Lift-a! Lift-a! LIFTARA! **[VERSE 2 — Female Lead, Rolling Amapiano Bass]** Deh's a farmer wid a harvest, Deh's a maker wid a plan. Deh's a fada teachin' patience, Deh's a child who undastand. Young designer find a customer, Small business find it feet. Sumbody mek a new connection In a place dem nevah meet. From di village to di city, From di mountain to di sea, Every person bring a talent, Every life full a dignity. Wi can build a wider circle, Wi can open up di way. Every step to inclusion Mek a diff'rence day by day. **[PRE-CHORUS — Choir Builds]** Yuh feel di ground beneath yuh? Yuh hear di drum dem begin? Tek di han' a sumbody near yuh, Mek di whole wide world join in! Wi nuh need fi climb alone, Wi nuh need fi race ahead. When wi mek space fi oddah, Brighter road fi we tread! **[CHORUS — Festival Dance Drop]** Lift-a, lift-a, LIFTARA! Higher, higher, yah we deh yah! Oh-eh-oh! Oh-eh-ah! Everybadi reach fi di star! Lift-a, lift-a, LIFTARA! Move yuh foot an' lift yuh heart! One fi yuh! One fi mi! Lift each odah— One, two, three! **[BRIDGE — Piano, Children's Choir, Gentle Handclaps]** If yuh see a door open wide, Hol' it fi dem weh jus' a glide. If yuh find di way fi mek it, Share di tings weh help yuh stride. No one road fi di progress, Cyaan promise if yuh nuh care. But a world weh fi everybody, Is di bes' world fi share. *(Music fades to handclaps)* **[DANCE BREAK — Call-and-Response]** Lead: Who fi lift somebody? Crowd: Wi can! Wi can! Lead: Who fi mek di change? Crowd: Wi can! Wi can! Lead: Who belong ya? Crowd: Everybody! Lead: Den show mi how yuh move! *(Percussion builds)* Lift! Lift! Step! Step! Hands up high! Tun roun'! One fi yuh! One fi me! Lift each other— One, two, tree! *(Full bass drop)* LIFTARA! **[FINAL CHORUS — Full Festival Choir, Brass, Percussion]** Lift-a, lift-a, LIFTARA! Higher, higher, we deh yah! Oh-eh-oh! Oh-eh-ah! Everybody reach fi di stars! Lift-a, lift-a, LIFTARA! Move yuh feet an' lift yuh heart! One fi yuh! One fi me! Lift each other— One, two, tree! **[OUTRO — Warm Guitar, Fading Choir]** One open door, One helpin' han'. One likkle step Can change di plan. Sweefin bring wi ways fi connect, Fi create, exchange, an' grow. Lift-a, lift-a, LIFTARA! When wi lift each other, Wi all rise! *(Final triumphant drum hit)*
