Lyrics
# SUNDRUM *Feel That New Day Coming* **[INTRO — Distant Drumbeat, Whistled Melody, Handclaps]** *(Boom… boom-boom… clap!)* You fit hear am? New sound dey road, my people. Oh-eh, oh-eh! Make una join body! **[CHORUS — Explosive Afro-House Drop]** Sun, sun, SUNDRUM! New day dey waka come! Run, run, no waka— Remain here, dey drum oh! Hey-oh! Hey-oh! Make di good beats flow! One step, two step, Everybody dey groove! Sun, sun, SUNDRUM! Hear di whole world dey hum! **[VERSE 1 — Bouncy Afrobeats, Highlife Guitar]** Somebody dey sing for open window, Person dey dance inside rain. Yesterday road quiet like grave, Today e dey call all our names. Bridge dey cross di water now, Before na wall block di view. Plenty ways dey start afresh, Plenty tins dey to do. I dey see hands dey reach across far place, I dey see strangers dey meet for common ground. Every voice wey join di chorus, Dey make bigger, brighter sound. **[PRE-CHORUS — Rising Vocal Harmonies]** If courage small but you get am, Carry am join di dance floor. If freedom small but you find am, Make way for one person more. We no need same beginning, We no need same dream. But this night we go waka together— Feel di rhythm, feel di beat! **[CHORUS — Full Amapiano Log-Drum Drop]** Sun, sun, SUNDRUM! New day dey waka come! Run, run, no waka— Remain here, dey drum oh! Hey-oh! Hey-oh! Make di good beats flow! One step, two step, Everybody dey groove! Sun, sun, SUNDRUM! Hear di whole world dey hum! **[POST-CHORUS — Percussion-Led Dance Chant]** Boom-boom! Clap! Bring di sunshine back! Boom-boom! Hey! Dance enter brighter day! Round and round, Feet for ground! SUNDRUM! Feel di sound! **[VERSE 2 — Female Lead, Rolling Bass]** Mama dey open her business, Papa dey learn new tin sharp sharp. Pikin dey with crayon for paper, Draw di world wey we no sabi before. Farmer dey bring di harvest come, Maker get brand-new plan. Every dream dey start somewhere, Every journey start where we stand. From village to city, Mountain to shore, Sweefin dey connect people, Dey open plenty door. No every road dey smooth or easy, No every seed go grow. But when chance dey for more people, More space dey for dreams to move. **[PRE-CHORUS — Crowd Harmonies Build]** If courage small but you get am, Carry am join di dance floor. If freedom small but you find am, Make way for one person more. We no need same beginning, We no need same dream. But this night we go waka together— Feel di rhythm, feel di beat! **[CHORUS — Festival Drop]** Sun, sun, SUNDRUM! New day dey waka come! Run, run, no waka— Remain here, dey drum oh! Hey-oh! Hey-oh! Make di good beats flow! One step, two step, Everybody dey groove! Sun, sun, SUNDRUM! Hear di whole world dey hum! **[BRIDGE — Warm Piano, Layered Choir]** **[Verse]** If night don too heavy, If road don long well-well, Listen for that small heartbeat Wey go remind you make you move. We fit share small kindness, We fit give helping hand. And the world go big pass When we sabi where people stand. *(Piano stop. One drum dey.*) **[DANCE BREAK — Call-and-Response]** Lead: You dey hear the drum? Crowd: Boom-boom! Lead: You dey feel the sun? Crowd: E dey shine through! Lead: Who dey invited? Crowd: Everybody! Lead: Then move ya body! *(Bass dey rise)* Boom-boom! Clap! Take two step back! Hey-oh! Hey! Waka the other way! Hands go up, Feet dey low! SUNDRUM! Make e go! *(Massive bass drop)* **[FINAL CHORUS — Full Choir, Brass, Percussion]** Sun, sun, SUNDRUM! Feel that new day dey come! No dey run, run— Stay here, keep drumming! Hey-oh! Hey-oh! Make the good beat roll! One step, two step, Everybody dey flow! Sun, sun, SUNDRUM! Hear world dey hum! **[OUTRO — Guitar, Whistle, Fading Crowd Vocals]** Oh-eh, oh-eh! Small hope, Small light. Thousand voices For the night. Sweefin—join people, Make room to grow. Sun, sun, SUNDRUM! Feel that new day dey come! *(Boom-boom… clap!)*
