Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro – Full Beat]
[Female]
Sunrise calling, feel the heat
Africa is moving underneath
Hands up high, the night is young
Come on, baby, join the song
[Male]
Bassline rolling, drums ignite
Your smile puts the stars alight
Take my hand, don’t think twice
We’re gonna dance into the light
[Pre-Chorus – Call and Response]
[FEMALE] Can you feel the fire?
[MALE] Burning in my heart!
[FEMALE] Can you hear the rhythm?
[MALE] Calling from the start!
[Chorus – Duet]
Africa, lift me higher
Higher, higher, higher!
Love is taking over
Closer, closer, closer!
Africa, feel that power
Dance with me this hour
Heartbeat, drumbeat, side by side
You and I are coming alive!
[Post-Chorus – Chant]
Hey! Hey! Move your feet!
Hey! Hey! Feel that beat!
Hey! Hey! Round and round!
Love is shaking up the ground!
[Instrumental Afro House Drop]
[Male]
Every step, I feel you near
Your voice is music in my ear
The drums are loud, the sky is wide
Stay with me, don’t leave my side
[Female]
Your heartbeat answers every drum
The sweetest night has just begun
No stopping now, we’re burning bright
Let’s dance together through the night
[Pre-Chorus – Call and Response]
[FEMALE] Can you feel the fire?
[MALE] Burning in my heart!
[FEMALE] Can you hear the rhythm?

Let the rhythm shake the ground!
One heart! One flame!
Everybody shout our name!
