[Intro | Low Energy | Spoken Warmth | Makossa Guitar Lead + Soft Handclaps]
Peut-être le miracle n’était pas loin
Tal vez éramos todos en un mismo lugar
Talvez fomos nós, respirando juntos
Learning how to carry one another
[Verse 1 | Gentle Build | Close Chest Voice | Makossa Guitar Replies + Shaker Pulse]
Je suis arrivé fatigué du poids de la semaine
Con el abrigo mojado por la lluvia de la mañana
Sem trovão rasgando o teto acima
No silver sign came down to call my name
Just old wood pews and a mother’s hum
Un niño fuera del tempo on a borrowed drum
Alguém riu, quelqu’un a pleuré
And all my guarded places opened some
[Pre-Chorus | Rising Energy | Lifted Tenor Push | Horn Stabs + Claps Tighten]
Puis une voix a trouvé l’autre
Una nota buscó otra línea
Mãos ao alto across the room
And the room put strength in mine
[Chorus | Peak Energy | Full-Bodied Belting | Afrobeat Groove + Makossa Guitar Riff]
C’est pour ça qu’on se rassemble
Por eso venimos aquí
Não é pedra, não é aço
It’s the charge when people sing
Una respiración se vuelve muchas
Um só sopro vira multidão
One breath becomes many
Many become one thing
C’est pour ça qu’on danse ensemble
Por eso volvemos otra vez
Para sentirnos levantando
To feel each other lighting the way
It’s the charge in the people
When the people sing
Un souffle devient mille
Mil vozes viram one thing
[Post-Chorus | High Energy | Group Shout Responses | Talking Drum Push + Guitar Counterline]
Eh-eh, on se lève
Ay-ay, juntos otra vez
Ô-ô, todo corpo diz
One room moving into yes
Eh-eh, plus fort encore
Ay-ay, palmas otra vez
Ô-ô, canta coração
Many breathing into one
[Verse 2 | Medium Energy | Grit-Touched Lead | Highlife Bass Walk + Makossa Guitar Answers]
Aucun livre seul ne m’a fait tenir debout
Ninguna regla sola me hizo completo
Mas tua mão tremendo na minha mão
Put a living current in my bones
La abuela moving on the back-row beat
O coro empurrando calor through the heat
Le silence before the next amen
Made belief feel close enough to reach
[Pre-Chorus | Rising Energy | Lifted Tenor Push | Horn Stabs + Claps Tighten]
Puis une voix a trouvé l’autre
Una nota buscó otra línea
Mãos ao alto across the room
And the room put strength in mine
[Chorus | Peak Energy | Full-Bodied Belting | Afrobeat Groove + Makossa Guitar Riff]
C’est pour ça qu’on se rassemble
Por eso venimos aquí
Não é pedra, não é aço
It’s the charge when people sing
Una respiración se vuelve muchas
Um só sopro vira multidão
One breath becomes many
Many become one thing
C’est pour ça qu’on danse ensemble
Por eso volvemos otra vez
Para sentirnos levantando
To feel each other lighting the way
It’s the charge in the people
When the people sing
Un souffle devient mille
Mil vozes viram one thing
[Bridge | Intimate Drop | Call-And-Response Lead | Calypso Percussion + Guitar Muting]
Appelle ça saint si tu veux
Llámalo casa si es verdad
Chama de lar se o peito sabe
All I know is I was small
Till I stood inside the singing
Dans le corps de cette foule
No crown above the rafters
Sem juiz atrás da porta
Solo cuerpos respondiendo
Des voix portant plus fort
“Je peux porter encore”
“Puedo cargar más”
“Eu posso carregar mais”
I can carry more
[Hook | Percussive Lift | Group Shout Responses | Conga Roll + Makossa Guitar Call]
Eh-eh, on se lève
Ay-ay, juntos otra vez
Ô-ô, todo corpo diz
One room moving into yes
Eh-eh, plus fort encore
Ay-ay, palmas otra vez
Ô-ô, canta coração
Many breathing into one
