[Intro] They told me music could change the world. Mmh-Hmm. I’ve heard men swear stranger things after three horns of mead. But a good song? It’ll cross an ocean. Walk straight through a border. Charm someone who doesn’t understand a damn word. And never once ask permission. Funny thing about music. It never learned to read a map. [Verse 1] From the mountains down to the ocean side A single voice that we can’t divide Cross the water on a wooden chord Singing peace to a world ignored [Chorus] Oh let the rhythm travel round the globe Wrapped in music like a healing robe One heartbeat in a different tongue The greatest song that’s ever sung [Verse 2] Old strings ringing in the desert dust Where iron fades and the people trust A child smiles as the drums begin Letting the light and the healing in [Chorus] Oh let the rhythm travel round the globe Wrapped in music like a healing robe One heartbeat in a different tongue The greatest song that’s ever sung [Bridge] Hear the rhythm play Brighter every day [Verse 3] From Kingston town to the delta stream We share the weight of a common dream [Final Chorus] Oh let the rhythm travel round the globe Wrapped in music like a healing robe One heartbeat in a different tongue The greatest song that’s ever sung [Outro] Well… Nobody died. Nobody surrendered. And somehow the whole damn world ended up singing together. I’ll take that as a win. Now… who’s got the mead?? [End]
