Everybody ketch di light! Ja-ja-JAMORA! Tek dat feelin' worldwide! Step in! Slide out! Tun it up an mek it fly! Ja-ja-JAMORA! Come an dance pon di brighta side! [VERSE 1 — BOUNCY AFROBEATS, HIGHLIFE GUITAR] Las' night di street dem quiet, Not a soun' under di moon. Den somebody ketch di riddim, An di whole block join di tune. From di window come a whistle, From di door come a clap. Somebody step inna di middle, An di drummer answer back. Dreams deh behind di window, Story inna every face. Some a wait pon dem chance, Some a find dem own place. Walls weh keep we distant, Wi can build a bridge instead. Tun di music into welcome, Mek di riddim travel ahead. [PRE-CHORUS — RISING FEMALE VOCALS] Yuh feel dat likkle shiver When di bassline touch yuh feet? Yuh hear di whole world callin' Through di riddim an di beat? Tek a step towards somebody, Gi' di moment room fi grow. When wi bring dreams together, No tellin' weh wi go! [CHORUS — FULL AMAPIANO LOG-DRUM DROP] Ja-ja-JAMORA! Move like tomorrow start tonight!

[VERSE 2 — WARM FEMALE LEAD, ROLLING BASS] Deh's a mother mekkin' plans Fi di business she a grow. Deh's a father teachin' skills Fi di pickney dem fi know. Deh's a farmer wid a harvest, Deh's a trader wid a dream. Deh's a young inventor drawin' Wha di world neva yet seen. From di village to di city, From di mountain to di shore, Every person bring a talent, Every life deserve much more. Linkin' pon create an trade, When more pathway open wide. More possibilities mek, Mek di future bright inside. [PRE-CHORUS — CHOIR BUILD] Yuh feel dat likkle shiver When di bassline touch yuh feet? Yuh hear di whole world callin' Through di riddim an di beat? Tek a step towards somebody, Gi' di moment room fi grow. When wi bring dreams together, No tellin' weh wi go!
