Lyrics

**[INTRO — Distant Drumbeat, Whistled Melody, Handclaps]**

*(Boom… boom-boom… clap!)*

Una dey hear am?

New sound dey for street.

Oh-eh, oh-eh!

Make we gather here!

**[CHORUS — Explosive Afro-House Drop]**

Sun, sun, SUNDRUM!
Feel new day dey come!

Run, run, no run—
Stay here, dey drum!

Hey-oh! Hey-oh!
Make beat dey roll!

One step, two step,
Everybody dey flow!

Sun, sun, SUNDRUM!
Hear world dey hum!

**[VERSE 1 — Bouncy Afrobeats, Highlife Guitar]**

Person dey sing for window open,
Person dey dance for rain.
Yesterday street quiet,
Now e dey call our names.

Bridge dey cross water,
Where wall block before.
Plenty ways dey start again,
Plenty things dey do.

I see hands dey reach across distance,
I see strangers dey find common ground.
Every voice wey join chorus
Make bigger, brighter sound.

**[PRE-CHORUS — Rising Vocal Harmonies]**

If small courage you get,
Bring am come dance floor.

If small freedom you find,
Hold door for one more.

No need same beginning,
No need same dream.

But tonight we go move together—
Feel rhythm, feel beat!

**[CHORUS — Full Amapiano Log-Drum Drop]**

Sun, sun, SUNDRUM!
Feel new day dey come!

Run, run, no run—
Stay here, dey drum!

Hey-oh! Hey-oh!
Make beat dey roll!

One step, two step,
Everybody dey flow!

Sun, sun, SUNDRUM!
Hear world dey hum!

**[POST-CHORUS — Percussion-Led Dance Chant]**

Boom-boom! Clap!
Bring sunshine back!

Boom-boom! Hey!
Dance into brighter day!

Round and round,
Feet dey ground!

SUNDRUM!
Feel that sound!

**[VERSE 2 — Female Lead, Rolling Bass]**

Mama dey open her business,
Papa dey learn new thing.
Pikin dey draw with colors,
Worlds we never see.

Farmer dey bring harvest,
Maker get new plan.
Every dream dey start somewhere,
Journey start where we stand.

From village to city,
From mountain to shore,
Sweefin connect people, chances,
Open more doors.

No every road smooth or easy,
No every seed go bloom.
But when chance dey for more people,
Space dey for dreams to move.

**[PRE-CHORUS — Crowd Harmonies Build]**

If small courage you get,
Bring am come dance floor.

If small freedom you find,
Hold door for one more.

No need same beginning,
No need same dream.

But tonight we go move together—
Feel rhythm, feel beat!

**[CHORUS — Festival Drop]**

Sun, sun, SUNDRUM!
Feel new day dey come!

Run, run, no run—
Stay here, dey drum!

Hey-oh! Hey-oh!
Make beat dey roll!

One step, two step,
Everybody dey flow!

Sun, sun, SUNDRUM!
Hear world dey hum!
