Lyrics
Wake up in the morning, shadows on the wall, Leaders in their towers, watching people fall. They promise us the river, but they dam it dry, We toil in the fields, under endless sky. Call: Who holds the key? Response: They do, but not for we! Call: Who drinks the wine? Response: They sip while we thirst in line!
Rise up, oh people, feel the beat in your soul, Drums are calling, let the rhythm take control. No more chains, no more lies in the night, We dance for justice, under the firelight. Hey! Hey! Move your feet, shake the ground, Together we stand, let the truth resound. Freedom's song, in every heart it grows, Afrobeat fire, where the real power flows!
Streets are filled with echoes of the broken dreams, Voices rising higher, tearing at the seams. The powerful feast while the hungry wait, But our spirits unbreakable, we won't seal our fate. Call: Who builds the walls? Response: They do, to keep us small! Call: Who breaks them down? Response: We will, in this town!
Rise up, oh people, feel the beat in your soul, Drums are calling, let the rhythm take control. No more chains, no more lies in the night, We dance for justice, under the firelight. Hey! Hey! Move your feet, shake the ground, Together we stand, let the truth resound. Freedom's song, in every heart it grows, Afrobeat fire, where the real power flows!
Slow it down now, feel the bassline hum, Horns are crying out, like a distant drum. We've carried the load for too long in silence, Time to ignite, break the chains of defiance.
: Listen to the wind, it whispers change!
: Change is coming, feel the range! Build it up, layer by layer, polyrhythms weave, In this groove, we believe, we achieve.
From the markets to the mountains, the message spreads wide, No more hiding in corners, no more denied. The youth are awakening, eyes open bright, We'll rewrite the story, step into the light. Call: Who owns the future? Response: It's ours, pure and sure! Call: Who leads the way? Response: We do, every day!
Rise up, oh people, feel the beat in your soul, Drums are calling, let the rhythm take control. No more chains, no more lies in the night, We dance for justice, under the firelight. Hey! Hey! Move your feet, shake the ground, Together we stand, let the truth resound. Freedom's song, in every heart it grows, Afrobeat fire, where the real power flows!
: Call: Rise! Response: Rise! Call: Dance! Response: Dance! Feel the horns blow, the percussion roar, We're unbreakable, forevermore.
: Rise up... feel the beat... Afrobeat fire... flows...
