Ja-ja-JAMORA! Tek dat feeling worldwide! Step in! Slide out! Ton am up, mek e fly! Ja-ja-JAMORA! Cam dance na di bright side! [VERSE 1 — BOUNCY AFROBEATS, HIGHLIFE GUITAR] Las night di street bin quiet, No sound unda di moon. Den somebody ketch di ritm, Di whole block join di tune. From window cam whistle, From doorway cam clap. Somebody step na di middle, Di drummer answer back. Drim de behind each window, Story de na each face. Some don wait for chance, Some de find dem own way. Weh di wall dem don keep wi far, Wi go build bridge instead. Ton di musik to welcome, Mek di ritm go ahead. [PRE-CHORUS — RISING FEMALE VOCALS] You de feel dat smol shiver When di bassline de hit you foot? You de hear di whole worl de call Through di ritm of di beat? Tek step to somebody, Giv di moment room for grow. When wi bring wi drim together, No tellin weh wi go go! [CHORUS — FULL AMAPIANO LOG-DRUM DROP] Ja-ja-JAMORA! Move lek tomorrow start na tonight! Hey-oh! Hey-oh! Everybody ketch di light! Ja-ja-JAMORA! Tek dat feeling worldwide! Step in! Slide out! Ton am up, mek e fly! Ja-ja-JAMORA! Cam dance na di bright side!

[VERSE 2 — WARM FEMALE LEAD, ROLLING BASS] Mama de make plan For di business she go grow. Papa de teach skill Wetin di pikin dem for know. Farmer de wit harvest, Trader get e own drim. Young inventor de draw Wetin di worl neva see. From village to city, From mountain to di shore, Evri pesin bring talent, Evri life deserve much more. Sweefin open way for connect, For exchange, create, an trade. When more people get pathway, More possibility de made. [PRE-CHORUS — CHOIR BUILD] You de feel dat smol shiver When di bassline de hit you foot? You de hear di whole worl de call Through di ritm of di beat? Tek step to somebody, Giv di moment room for grow. When wi bring wi drim together, No tellin weh wi go go! [CHORUS — FESTIVAL DANCE DROP] Ja-ja-JAMORA! Move lek tomorrow start na tonight! Hey-oh!

[BRIDGE — SOULFUL PIANO, CHILDREN'S CHOIR] If you eva feel forgotten, If you eva stand alone, Mek you find open doorway, Mek you find place called home. Evri voice deserve hearing, Evri drim deserve chance. An tonight, unda di stars, Everybody get for dance. Wi no promise easy answer, Wi no wish di work away. But wi go build better small With di choice dem make today. [BREAKDOWN — MUSIC STOPS] *(One clap.)* Hey!
