The African Rooster

Lyrics

[Intro] Koo-roo-kú, koo-roo-kú Morning finds a way Koo-roo-kú, koo-roo-kú Wake the hidden flame [Verse 1] In a quiet room, a chair waits by the wall A dusty little notebook still remembers it all No crowd at the doorway, no hands in the air But a tune starts moving like somebody cares The screen holds the moment, the room holds its breath A small brave idea refuses to rest What slept in the heart through the long passing years Finds a new beginning, rises through the tears [Pre-Chorus] You thought nobody heard you You thought the dream was gone But every buried heartbeat Can find its morning song [Chorus] Here comes the African Rooster, koo-roo-kú Silent Lives, Loud Dreams, breaking through Waking up the dreamer with AI Lift your eyes, lift your hands, let the old hope fly Here comes the African Rooster, koo-roo-kú Silent Lives, Loud Dreams, shining true When the room is still, the vision comes alive One more door, one more dawn, one more reason to try [Verse 2] A mother hums softly while the kettle sings A young man sketches bridges, imagining wings A father finds courage in a half-finished page A sister turns her sorrow into something brave No need for a stadium, no need for a throne A spark can grow mighty in a room of its own The music keeps playing, the silence turns gold And forgotten tomorrows come out of the cold [Pre-Chorus] You thought nobody heard you You thought the dream was gone But every buried heartbeat Can find its morning song [Chorus] Here comes the African Rooster, koo-roo-kú Silent Lives, Loud Dreams, breaking through Waking up the dreamer with AI Lift your eyes, lift your hands, let the old hope fly Here comes the African Rooster, koo-roo-kú Silent Lives, Loud Dreams, shining true When the room is still, the vision comes alive One more door, one more dawn, one more reason to try [Bridge] [Choir] Wake up, wake up, your story is not over [Lead] Even in the quiet, grace is drawing closer [Choir] Stand up, stand up, let the new day find you [Lead] What was left behind can bloom right beside you [Call and Response] [Lead] Who brings the morning? [Choir] The African Rooster! [Lead] What do we carry? [Choir] Silent Lives, Loud Dreams! [Lead] What wakes the dreamer? [Choir] AI and a willing heart! [Final Chorus] Here comes the African Rooster, koo-roo-kú Silent Lives, Loud Dreams, breaking through Waking up the dreamer with AI Sing it from the quiet till the whole world hears the sky Here comes the African Rooster, koo-roo-kú Silent Lives, Loud Dreams, shining true When the room is still, the vision comes alive One more door, one more dawn, one more reason to try [Outro] Koo-roo-kú, koo-roo-kú Your dream is waking now Koo-roo-kú, koo-roo-kú Take your rightful bow
