Spirit Under One Sun
Hee-ya,
hee-ya…
Oh-le-le,
oh-le-le…
Eh mama, eh mama…
Jambo…
Can you feel it?
(Eh-yo! Eh-yo!) (We feel it,
we feel it!)
Came from the ground where the roots run deep,
Where the drums talk loud and the people don’t sleep.
Sun on my face,
got the dust on my shoes,
I got nothing to prove,
got nothing to lose.
Life moves fast, but we move with the rhythm,
Every heart beats, everybody’s got a vision.
Different languages, but we understand,
One beat connects every woman and man.
From the city streets to the open plains,
Through the sunshine, through the pouring rain.
We got scars, got dreams,
got stories to tell,
Some days we rise,
some days we fell.
But we stand back up when the morning comes,
Hear the call of the people,
hear the sound of the drums.
Put your hands in the air,
let your worries go,
When the rhythm starts moving,
let your whole heart show.
(Oh-le-le,
oh-le-le!) (Eh-yo, eh-yo!) (Move your body,
let it go!) (Oh-le-le,
oh-le-le!) Can you hear the voices calling?
Can you feel the rhythm rising?
Every step brings us together,
We belong beneath this sky.
(Eh mama, eh mama!) (Oh-le-le,
oh-le-le!)
JAMBO, JAMBO, WE COME ALIVE!
FEEL THE RHYTHM, FEEL THE FIRE INSIDE!
JAMBO, JAMBO, SIDE BY SIDE!
UNDER ONE SUN, LET THE SPIRIT RISE!
OH-LE-LE,
OH-LE-LE! LET THE DRUMS TAKE YOU AWAY!
OH-LE-LE, OH-LE-LE! WE ARE HERE,
WE ARE ALIVE TODAY!
(Eh-yo! Eh-yo!) JAMBO!
(Eh-yo! Eh-yo!) JAMBO!
Look, I was raised on the lessons of time,
On the strength of the people and the power of a rhyme.
You can build you a future,
you can change your direction,
Every little step is a new connection.
No gold chain needed just to know your worth,
Real wealth lives in the people on Earth.
In the hands that build,
in the hearts that care,
In the love that we give and the hope that we share.
Hear the bass in the back,
hear the drums up front,
Got the whole crowd moving when the rhythm starts to bump.
From the first sunrise to the last light glow,
There’s a whole wide world that we still don’t know.
So we learn, we grow,
let the old ways teach us,
Keep our minds wide open,
let the good things reach us.
No matter where you’re from,
no matter your name,
When the drums start talking,
we can all feel the same.
Who brings the rhythm?
(We bring
the rhythm!) Who brings the love?
(We bring the love!) Who brings the fire?
(We bring the fire!) Higher,
higher, higher!
Can you hear the voices calling?
Can you feel the rhythm rising?
Every step brings us together,
We belong beneath this sky.
JAMBO, JAMBO, WE COME ALIVE!
FEEL THE RHYTHM, FEEL THE FIRE INSIDE!
JAMBO, JAMBO, SIDE BY SIDE!
UNDER ONE SUN, LET THE SPIRIT RISE!
OH-LE-LE, OH-LE-LE!
LET THE DRUMS TAKE YOU AWAY!
OH-LE-LE,
OH-LE-LE! WE ARE HERE,
WE ARE ALIVE TODAY!
(Hee-ya, hee-ya…) (Oh-le-le, oh-le-le…)
