[Chorus] World so wide, welcome to the party Lights so bright, welcome to the party Hearts unite, welcome to the party Love in sight, welcome to the party [Verse 1] Ayy, back when me and V was dancin' through the grass Talkin' 'bout the whole globe, bridges we could cast My brother had the rhythm, my sister had the laugh Now we turn the music up and open every path [Verse 2] This the third of the trilogy Lanterns in the sky, every color, every energy Beats from Brazil, drums singin' out in Tel Aviv Tokyo to Rio, feel the welcome in the breeze Said she wanna leave, wanna fly out to the beaches Said she need some peace and a circle that receives her They be in the streets, different languages and speakers All around the planet, every soul a different teacher [Verse 3] Everything that we share Stories from a black man, stories from the village square Painted on the walls, every word a little prayer We learnin' how to listen, how to really see each other there They found home in a rhythm and a tale Not in the fear or the bars or the jail I can show you how they greet you when you sail in Arms wide, music loud, yeah, we all kin Ayy, when the lights come up, tell 'em, "Welcome to the party" [Verse 4] Huh, no one here a stranger No fear in her face, lil' shorty, she a changer Tryna save the day for the family and cultures Not 'cause they told her, she feel it in her aura Ayy, turn this night into a light show She got the moves like Jackson, Michael Ayy, every step breakin' cycles They gon' know our names, we the idols Ayy, every corner of the Earth say, "Welcome to the party" [Chorus] World so wide, welcome to the party City lights, welcome to the party Different lives, one heartbeat at the party Peace worldwide, welcome to the party
