Lantern Keeper (Spoken) “Lantern Keepers…” “Before we were names…” “Before we were borders…” “Before we were divided…” “We were light.” “Different journeys…” “Different stories…” “One heartbeat.” “One Earth.” “One Love.” ⸻ VERSE 1 Waaaa-oooooh… Waaa-aaaa-ooooh… Wooo-oooo-oooh… Hello from the land to the sky, Can you hear the world come alive? Rain falling, rivers running, Every soul beneath the same sunlight. Open your eyes, open your heart, See the beauty where we all start. Different faces, different names, But we all carry the same flame. Hands in the dust, feet on the ground, Feel the rhythm, hear the sound. From the mountains to the sea, There is a song inside you and me. ⸻ PRE-CHORUS Wake us now… Bring us near… Turn the silence Into a song we hear. Whether friend or stranger, Near or far away… Love is the language That will lead the way. ⸻ CHORUS Raise your voice into the light, Let the whole world come alive. Every heartbeat, every flame, Different stories, one refrain. Side by side we’ll always rise, Underneath these endless skies. One love burning through the night, Watch the whole Earth come alive. Oh-oh-oh-oh… One love, one sky… Oh-oh-oh-oh… We were born to shine. Oh-oh-oh-oh… Heart to heart, we rise… Oh-oh-oh-oh… Watch the whole Earth come alive. ⸻ VERSE 2 Waaaa-oooooh… Waaa-aaaa-ooooh… Hands in the soil, Feet on the Earth, We learn the lesson Of what life is worth. Stars in the heavens, Roots in the ground, Ancient vibrations Are calling us now. Every color, every soul, Every story makes us whole. Different paths, different ways, Still connected through the same grace. Like rivers flowing to the ocean, Like stars across the night, Many different pieces Creating one beautiful light. ⸻ NEO SOUL RAP VERSE (Deep Afro Tribal Groove • Conscious Flow) Yeah… Look beyond the surface, see the spirit in the eyes, Different colors shining underneath the same sunrise. They built walls between us, tried to separate the flame, But love was always stronger than the labels and the names. The ocean never asks the waves why they move the way they do, The sky never judges stars for shining in a different hue. So why divide the beauty that was made to multiply? When every soul is a reflection of the same eternal sky. Every heartbeat got a rhythm, every person got a story, Every scar, every struggle, every moment holds a glory. We’re not pieces of a puzzle trying to find where we belong, We’re the melody together when we realize we’re one song. Different colors, one creation, Millions of lights, one constellation. Every heartbeat, every soul, Together we become whole. No fear in the future, no hate in our name, Only love rising like a fire from the rain. Raise the lantern higher, let the whole world see, The greatest revolution is remembering unity. ⸻ BRIDGE [Tribal Chants • Choir Rising] From the Earth… To the sky… Every face belongs in time. Every voice… Every dream… Is a piece of the divine. Waaaa-oooooh… We are the colors of creation… We are the light of celebration… ⸻ FINAL CHORUS Raise your voice into the light, Let the whole world come alive. Every heartbeat, every flame, Different stories, one refrain. Side by side we’ll always rise, Underneath these endless skies. One love burning through the night, Watch the whole Earth come alive. Oh-oh-oh-oh… One love, one sky… Oh-oh-oh-oh… We were born to shine. Oh-oh-oh-oh… Heart to heart, we rise… Oh-oh-oh-oh… Watch the whole Earth come alive. ⸻ TRAILBLAZERS CLOSING Lantern Keeper (Spoken) “Different colors…” “Different journeys…” “Same light.” “Keep your lantern burning…” “One Love.” “One Family.” “One Journey.” “We don’t follow paths…” “We light them.
