Unity Drumbeat
Oya my people,
listen!
Different language,
Different color,
Different story…
But when the drum begin to talk,
Everybody understand.
ONE LOVE!
Why brother dey hate brother?
Why sister dey fight sister?
Because of where you come from,
Because of name wey your papa give you?
You say your blood better,
I say my blood better,
But when the rain begin to fall,
Everybody need umbrella.
One love!
One love,
one love, ONE LOVE!
No matter where you come from,
ONE LOVE!
No matter wetin you believe,
ONE LOVE!
No matter the road you waka,
ONE LOVE! One heart!
One people! ONE LOVE!
Rich man get money,
Poor man get dream,
Big man get power,
Small man get scream.
But the sun wey rise for morning No dey choose who go
see am. And the ground wey carry everybody No dey ask who
you be.
So why we dey divide?
Why we dey separate?
If we fit stand together,
We fit change our fate.
My brother!
(ONE LOVE!) My sister!
(ONE LOVE!) My neighbor!
(ONE LOVE!) My people!
(ONE LOVE!) From north!
(ONE LOVE!) From south!
(ONE LOVE!) East! (ONE LOVE!) West!
(ONE LOVE!)
One-one-one! (ONE LOVE!) Love-love-love!
(ONE LOVE!)
No hatred! (ONE LOVE!) No division!
(ONE LOVE!) Come together!
(ONE LOVE!) Stand together!
(ONE LOVE!)
If your neighbor fall,
(no laugh am) If
your brother cry, (no mock am) If your sister stumble,
Give her hand.
Because tomorrow
You fit need that same hand.
Life no be permanent.
Power no be permanent.
Money no be permanent.
But the love wey you give
Fit live after you.
ONE LOVE!
Drum talk!
(ONE LOVE!) Bass talk!
(ONE LOVE!) Horn talk!
(ONE LOVE!) People talk!
(ONE LOVE!) Everybody talk!
(ONE LOVE!) What we need?
(LOVE!) What we preach?
(LOVE!) What we give?
(LOVE!) What we live?
(ONE LOVE!)
One love…
One heart… One people… One world…
ONE
LOVE!
No matter your name!
(ONE LOVE!) No matter your place!
(ONE LOVE!)
No matter your story!
(ONE LOVE!) We are one!
(ONE LOVE!) We are one!
(ONE LOVE!)
ONE! ONE!
ONE!
ONE
LOVE!
