Island Diaspora Vibrance

{shaker and single conga hit} Ooh,

yeah, yeah

{clean pentatonic guitar riff enters}

No matter where you go across the ocean blue

The rhythm in your chest is calling out to you

From Kingston to Lagos,

we feel the same sun

Two worlds, one beat,

we are moving as one

{rimshot accent on beat 3}

Ah,

hear the talking drum speak (ahhhh)

Feel the bass down in your feet

{sub-bass filter opens} Singing one love,

one vibe, in the warm night air From Jamaica to Nigeria,

we take it everywhere Move your body to the sound,

let the spirit take control

This is the rhythm of our soul

(yeah, yeah, yeah)

{full rich brass stabs} We share the same language of the drum

and bass

A beautiful energy that time cannot erase

Drinking sweet palm wine under coconut trees

Feel the warm trade wind,

feel the gentle breeze

{guitar muting} Singing one love,

one vibe, in the warm night air From Jamaica to Nigeria,

we take it everywhere Move your body to the sound,

let the spirit take control

This is the rhythm of our soul

{full rich brass stabs} One love,

one soul (ooh-yeh) From Kingston to Lagos {instruments fade leaving only clean

guitar and shaker} {fade

out}
