Lyrics
[Verse 1]
From U.K. to London town
We carry hope, we don’t look down
APC Diaspora, we stand as one
Sixth Region shining in the sun
Names on the paper, hearts in the work
Every small step makes a big truth
No empty talk, we build with care
Team Esther Tucker, we’re already there
[Pre-Chorus]
Raise it up, let it show
From the boroughs to the roads
Unity makes the people strong
And this is where we all belong
[Chorus]
Team Esther Tucker, lift it high
London people, reach the sky
Team Esther Tucker, hold the line
APC Diaspora, sixth region rise
(Team Esther Tucker)
(We rise, we rise)
[Verse 2]
In every ward, in every place
We bring respect, we bring grace
Hands to the future, eyes on truth
For the elders and the youth
Uk/I London, let it ring
Hear the progress people sing
With steady courage, day by day
We move together, we make a way
[Pre-Chorus]
Raise it up, let it show
From the boroughs to the roads
Unity makes the people strong
And this is where we all belong
[Chorus]
Team Esther Tucker, lift it high
London people, reach the sky
Team Esther Tucker, hold the line
APC Diaspora, sixth region rise
(Team Esther Tucker)
(We rise, we rise)
[Bridge]
No fear, no delay
We choose the brighter way
Different voices, one accord
Building more than words
[Final Chorus]
Team Esther Tucker, lift it high
London people, reach the sky
Team Esther Tucker, hold the line
APC Diaspora, sixth region rise
(Team Esther Tucker)
(We rise, we rise)
From U.K. to London town
We carry hope, we don’t look down
APC Diaspora, we stand as one
Sixth Region shining in the sun
Names on the paper, hearts in the work
Every small step makes a big truth
No empty talk, we build with care
Team Esther Tucker, we’re already there
[Pre-Chorus]
Raise it up, let it show
From the boroughs to the roads
Unity makes the people strong
And this is where we all belong
[Chorus]
Team Esther Tucker, lift it high
London people, reach the sky
Team Esther Tucker, hold the line
APC Diaspora, sixth region rise
(Team Esther Tucker)
(We rise, we rise)
[Verse 2]
In every ward, in every place
We bring respect, we bring grace
Hands to the future, eyes on truth
For the elders and the youth
Uk/I London, let it ring
Hear the progress people sing
With steady courage, day by day
We move together, we make a way
[Pre-Chorus]
Raise it up, let it show
From the boroughs to the roads
Unity makes the people strong
And this is where we all belong
[Chorus]
Team Esther Tucker, lift it high
London people, reach the sky
Team Esther Tucker, hold the line
APC Diaspora, sixth region rise
(Team Esther Tucker)
(We rise, we rise)
[Bridge]
No fear, no delay
We choose the brighter way
Different voices, one accord
Building more than words
[Final Chorus]
Team Esther Tucker, lift it high
London people, reach the sky
Team Esther Tucker, hold the line
APC Diaspora, sixth region rise
(Team Esther Tucker)
(We rise, we rise)
Style of Music
Afro Beat midtempo with syncopated percussion, rolling bass, bright guitar chops, and punchy horn stabs; verse rides sparse drums and palm-wine guitar, pre-chorus lifts with stacked harmonies and handclaps, chorus opens into gang vocals and call-and-response. Lead vocal stays warm and close-mic, with ad-lib echoes, delay throws, and crowd chant doubles. Crisp, sunlit mix with tight low end and lively top sparkle., inspirational
