[Intro]
Whispers of roots in the wind, we rise again
Kente and concrete, weaving stories we write by hand
[Verse 1]
I carry drums in my walk, colors on my skin sing loud
From markets to sidewalks, I wear my history proud
Grandmothers guiding me with songs from the old days
We bloom where we’re planted, in vibrant, ancestral ways
[Pre-Chorus]
Faces tell the map, each scar a vow kept true
In every crowded street, a story of me and you
[Chorus]
We are the heartbeat of the daylight, bright lines in the sky
Proud, unapologetic, with every breath we try
From roots to bright futures, the memory survives
Belonging is a chorus, and we lift it high
[Verse 2]
Cuisine in the air, spices dancing on the breeze
A gallery of names, a chorus of histories
We break the quiet with laughter, let rhythms collide
In this neighborhood we thrive, in every shade we glide
[Pre-Chorus]
Hands linked in the circle, futures spoken aloud
In every shared smile, the nation murmurs its vow
[Chorus]
We are the heartbeat of the daylight, bright lines in the sky
Proud, unapologetic, with every breath we try
From roots to bright futures, the memory survives
Belonging is a chorus, and we lift it high
[Bridge]
If you ask where I’m from, I’ll tell you I’m from the sunlit streets
From ancestors’ prayers to the kids who dream in concrete
We carry the saga, we pass the flame to the next gen
Together we shout: we are here, we begin again
[Chorus]
We are the heartbeat of the daylight, bright lines in the sky
Proud, unapologetic, with every breath we try
From roots to bright futures, the memory survives
Belonging is a chorus, and we lift it high
[Outro]
We bow to the past, we rise in the now, we stand as one
In every breath, in every step, we belong
We belong, we belong, we belong
