[Intro – dubby pads, distant chant]
Yeah…
One people… one heart…
Under one sky…
(Oh na-na… rise up…)
[Verse 1 – patois-infused flow]
From di east to di west, hear di call ina di air
Different tongues, same prayer we a share
Some say Jah, some say God, some say light
But a love guide di way through di darkest night
See di lines weh dem draw, try fi split wi apart
But di truth seh unity live ina di heart
No matter di color or di creed weh yuh claim
We a breathe di same breath, we a feel di same pain
[Pre-Chorus – building tension]
Hold on, don’t divide
Feel di rhythm, step inside
Every soul, every tribe
Let di love be di guide
[Drop / Chorus – high energy ragga DnB]
One faith, one drum, let it beat as one
No war, no fight, just di rising sun
From di hills to di slum, hear di people dem come
Sing peace ina di streets till di kingdom come
One faith, one drum, let it roll, let it run
Every voice, every heart, every daughter and son
Put di fire ina love, let di hatred be done
We a stand together — we a move as one
[Verse 2 – faster, rhythmic]
Dem teach we fi fear what we don’t understand
But we stronger when we link hand in hand
Temple, church, mosque, or di open sky
Truth still shine when di soul ask why
No more fighting over name or face
All a we searching fi di same embrace
When di bassline drop and di riddim speak
You can feel dat peace every heart a seek
[Pre-Chorus – layered vocals]
Rise up, unify
Lift yuh voice, amplify
No more walls, no more lies
See di truth through yuh eyes
[Drop / Chorus – heavier]
One faith, one drum, let it beat as one
No war, no fight, just di rising sun
From di hills to di slum, hear di people dem come
Sing peace ina di streets till di kingdom come
One faith, one drum, let it roll, let it run
Every voice, every heart, every daughter and son
Put di fire ina love, let di hatred be done
We a stand together — we a move as one
[Bridge – half-time dub section]
(Yeah… slow it down…)
Different roads but a one destination
Different songs but a one vibration
Feel di echo ina every nation
Peace is di only foundation
[Final Drop – biggest, chant-heavy]
(ONE FAITH!) — let it rise, let it run
(ONE DRUM!) — beat it loud, everyone
(ONE LOVE!) — under moon, under sun
We a live together — we a move as one
[Outro – fading dub echo]
One heart…
One people…
One drum…
