Den anodda voice start singin', An di whole worl' catch di word. Whey di walls dida divide wi, Now wi buildin' bridges wide. Ev'ry dream deserve a doorway, Ev'ry heart a place inside. Riddim deh fi true inna di distance, Feel di vibes inna di air. When wi help one anedda, Hope fi share, nuff fi spare. Sweefin bring new ways fi link up, Create, exchange, an grow. When more people get di chance, More we all can do and show. **[PRE-CHORUS — Rising Female Harmonies]** Feel di riddim inna yuh body, Feel di music inna yuh feet. Tek a step an bring somebaddi Inna dis amazin' beat. Ev'ry hand can lift anodda, Ev'ry voice can join di song.

Everybaddi shine tonight! **[VERSE 2 — Female Lead, Rolling Amapiano Bass]** Mama deh a di market, Wid a dream strong an bold. Papa tek time fi di family, After workin' all day long. Child a dream 'bout flyin', Farma plantin' di seeds. Creator wid a bright idea, Fi di tings di worl' might need. From di village to di city, From di mountain to di sea, Ev'ry one got a story, Ev'ry life got dignity. When wi trade an prosper plenty, When wi learn an when wi share, Wi can build a worl' of chances, Opportunity everywhere. **[PRE-CHORUS — Choir Builds]** Feel di riddim inna yuh body, Feel di music inna yuh feet. Tek a step an bring somebaddi Inna dis amazin' beat. Ev'ry hand can lift anodda, Ev'ry voice can join di song.
