[Intro – Soft piano + distant choir]  
Hmmmm…  
Ohhh…

[Verse 1]  
Yen sa yɛ́, nan na dɔɔ, yɛ bɛtɔ,  
Nya dɔ na wo yé, yɛbɔm kɛ fam pɔ.  
Nsɛm a yɛbɛyɛ nyinaa, nsɛm a yɛbɛka,  
Yɛbɛkɔ nante yie — nanso dɔ no bɛyɛ hɔ.

Yɛn bɛyɛ a yɛn ho yɛ fɛ?

Yɛn bɛma biribi a ɛyɛ fɛ?  
Yɛn bɛyɛ na yɛn nsam yɛ hɔ?

Wɔ awiei no, ɛnyɛ sika,  
Ɛnyɛ tumi a yɛde to so,  
Ɛyɛ ɔbra a yɛde bɛyɛ...

[Chorus / Hook – UNIVERSAL ANTHEM]

Wiase a yɛde kɔ mu yɛ nwanwa, nanso yɛ fɛ ne nyinaa,

Ɔbarima biara nni nsɛm a ɛho hia sɛ yɛbɛyɛ;  
W’abrabɔ ne me de yɛ nkɔmɔ.

Kɔda mma no ho wɔ w’akyi,  
Kyerɛ no ɔdɔ ho asɛm,  
Ma no biribi a ɛyɛ fɛ —  
Ma no ani so nkɔ daakye.

[Pre-Chorus]

Ababaa nyinaa, abɔfo nyinaa.

[Final Chorus / Outro – FULL HUMAN ANTHEM]
