[start] [Intro: Handclaps syncopated, djembe + shekere groove, male bass choir hum, ululation building] [Verse: Female gospel-style lead with African English accent] Voices rise in morning light Sing of joy, sing of might Hearts united, souls set free Forever in His melody [Chorus: Call-and-response with Swahili phrase, gospel choir full] Forever we sing [lead female soaring] (Bwana asifiwe!) [choir unison, Swahili accent] Forever we sing (Bwana asifiwe!) Our hearts rejoice, our hands we bring Forever, forever we sing [Verse: Male lead preacher-like phrasing, bass and tenor echo] Through the trials, through the rain Still the song will remain Every tongue, every land Singing as one band [Chorus: Repeat, stronger handclaps, djembe rolls, ululation accents] [Bridge: Percussion interlude – djembe solo, shekere and claps, choir layering higher, horns swell] [Chorus: Repeat x3 with dynamic build, full choir wall of sound] [Outro: Trance-like repetition of “Forever we sing” fading with claps, ululation, and choir echo] [end]
