Carry the Rhythm Home

[Intro — Group]
Oh, oh
We came together
We leave with the rhythm

[Verse 1 — Male]
The lights come up, but the night stays bright
We’ve got that good feeling tucked inside
Your laugh still rings, the drums still roll
There’s a little more joy in everybody’s soul

[Pre-Chorus — Female]
Take one last step, let the moment stay
Keep that sweet sound for another day
When the street gets quiet and the music is gone
We’ll hear that beat carrying on

[Chorus — Both]
Carry the rhythm home with you
Keep that good feeling running through
When the day gets heavy, when the sky turns grey
Let that little beat show you the way
Carry the rhythm home tonight
Keep a little spark, keep a little light
Every heart that moved, every hand that clapped
Takes a piece of the music back

[Verse 2 — Female]
The aunties wave and the children spin
The night winds down, but the smiles don’t dim
A friend calls out from across the road
“Next time we meet, bring that song we know”

[Pre-Chorus — Male]
Take one last step, let the moment stay
Keep that sweet sound for another day
When the street gets quiet and the music is gone
We’ll hear that beat carrying on

[Chorus — Both]
Carry the rhythm home with you
Keep that good feeling running through
When the day gets heavy, when the sky turns grey
Let that little beat show you the way
Carry the rhythm home tonight
Keep a little spark, keep a little light
Every heart that moved, every hand that clapped
Takes a piece of the music back

[Bridge — Call and Response]
(Male) What do we keep?
(Group) The joy we found!
(Female) What do we hear?
(Group) That rolling sound!
(Both) Wherever we go, wherever we roam
The beat stays with us, the beat comes home

[Final Chorus — Both]
Carry the rhythm home with you
Keep that good feeling running through
When the day gets heavy, when the sky turns grey
Let that little beat show you the way
Carry the rhythm home tonight
Keep a little spark, keep a little light
Every heart that moved, every hand that clapped
Takes a piece of the music back

[Outro — Group]
Carry it home
Carry it on
The rhythm stays
Long after the song
