Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro – Bright Afro House Beat]
[Boy]
Morning sun is shining bright
We wake up laughing, hearts alight
[Girl]
Every voice and every dream
Can make the whole world shine and sing
[Boy and Girl]
Under Africa’s sky
We can dance, we can fly
Every child has a light
Every dream can shine bright
[Chorus – Boy and Girl]
Clap your hands, come sing along
Africa is full of song
Step by step, we find our way
We bring joy into the day
[Boy]
I can draw the colours of the rainbow
[Girl]
I can make a melody grow
[Boy and Girl]
We can build, we can create
There’s no dream too small or late
[Chorus – Boy and Girl]
Under Africa’s sky
We can dance, we can fly
Every child has a light
Every dream can shine bright
[Instrumental Dance Break]
[Girl]
Bright eyes, kind hearts, brave ideas
[Boy]
Many gifts are growing here
[Boy and Girl]
Every child is wonderful
Every voice is beautiful
[Bridge – Call and Response]
[BOY] Are you ready?
[GIRL] Yes, we are!
[BOY] Let your light shine!
[GIRL] Near and far!
[Final Chorus – Boy and Girl]
Under Africa’s sky
We can dance, we can fly
Every child has a light
Every dream can shine bright
Clap your hands, come sing along
Africa is full of song
Step by step, we find our way
We bring joy into the day
