Here Comes the African Rooster

Lyrics

[Intro] [Rooster Call: bright three-note rising melodic phrase] O-o-oko-koo, morning finds a way A new song walks into the day [Verse 1] In a small room where the old plans stayed Dust on the pages, promises delayed Then a quiet spark crossed the screen And showed the hands what the heart had dreamed The tailor found orders, the baker found a name The teacher turned lessons into a flame One by one, doors began to move A little courage found a little room [Pre-Chorus] No dream is too small for the morning sun No road is too long when the first step’s done [Chorus] Here comes the African Rooster Silent Lives, Loud Dreams Waking up the dreamer with AI Hear the whole world sing Here comes the African Rooster Rise up, let your true light fly Music plays on LIVE, the doors are open wide Waking up the dreamer with AI [Verse 2] Mama kept a song in the back of her throat Brother had a business but never had a boat Sister drew designs on the edge of a receipt Now the tools are working while she finds her feet From Lagos roads to the hills of Kigali From Accra mornings to the shores of Mombasa A message travels, a new day begins The work gets lighter, the hope steps in [Pre-Chorus] No dream is too small for the morning sun No road is too long when the first step’s done [Chorus] Here comes the African Rooster Silent Lives, Loud Dreams Waking up the dreamer with AI Hear the whole world sing Here comes the African Rooster Rise up, let your true light fly Music plays on LIVE, the doors are open wide Waking up the dreamer with AI [Bridge] If you’ve been waiting, come closer If you’ve been hiding, stand tall The hands may be tired, the heart may be older But the dream was never gone at all Biz started, hearts are ready Small beginnings, strong and steady Let the choir answer, let the people say What slept in silence wakes today [Choir Response] Wake up, wake up [Lead] The dreamer is rising [Choir Response] Stand up, stand up [Lead] The future is calling [Choir Response] Sing out, sing out [Lead] Let every lost hope find its way [Final Chorus] Here comes the African Rooster Silent Lives, Loud Dreams Waking up the dreamer with AI Hear the whole world sing Here comes the African Rooster Rise up, let your true light fly Music plays on LIVE, the doors are open wide Waking up the dreamer with AI [Outro] [Rooster Call: joyful rising phrase with choir harmony] Here comes the African Rooster Silent Lives, Loud Dreams Wake up, dreamer, wake up Your new day has begun
