Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro – Driving Beat]
[Female]
Feel the rhythm, feel the flame
Every heartbeat calls your name
From the sunrise to the sea
Africa is moving me
[Male]
Hear the drums beneath the sky
See the stars come alive tonight
When your hand is close to mine
Every step is right on time
[Pre-Chorus – Call and Response]
[FEMALE] Can you feel it?
[MALE] I can feel it!
[FEMALE] Can you hear it?
[MALE] I can hear it!
[DUET] Heartbeat, drumbeat
Love is rising underneath
[Chorus – Duet]
Africa, feel the fire
Love is taking us higher
Heartbeat, drumbeat
You and I move as one
Africa, turn it louder
Let the rhythm pull us closer
Heartbeat, drumbeat
Dance with me till the morning sun
[Post-Chorus – Chant]
Eh-oh, eh-oh
Move your body, let it go
Eh-oh, eh-oh
Africa is in our soul

From the city to the ocean
Every step becomes a motion
Your eyes meet mine, the night shines bright
We keep on dancing, side by side

No borders in this melody
Just your heart dancing with me

Powerful four-on-the-floor kick and driving groove from the first bar, deep rolling bass, vibrant African hand percussion, shakers, talking drum accents, rhythmic guitar stabs and uplifting synths.

The female singer must sound clearly African; the male singer must also sound clearly African. Keep the African accents noticeable throughout every verse, chorus and ad-lib. Do not use American, British or neutral-sounding vocals. No exaggerated or cartoon accents. The woman and man must both sing clearly and confidently, with rhythmic call-and-response and energetic duet harmonies. Joyful celebration of Africa, dancing and passionate love. Short rhythmic vocal phrases, catchy chant-like chorus, strong dancefloor momentum, rising builds and extend
