Lyrics
[Intro]
(Bright, melodic highlife electric guitar soloing, sweet shaker percussion)
[Female Vocalist]
(Beautiful, smiling highlife vocal harmonies)
yeah... yeah, yeah...
[Verse 1]
[Male Rapper]
(Laid-back, melodic highlife storytelling flow, smooth bassline)
Ogechi, the way you dey dance to the beat
You dey make all the people dem step on the street
Your smile is a blessing, it brightens the room
Like a beautiful flower beginning to bloom
I pull up with love and I pull up with care
Anywhere that you go, you know I'll be there
We celebrate life, no time for the sorrow
We living today and we ready for tomorrow
[Pre-Chorus]
[Female Vocalist]
(Guitar chords picking faster, harmonies gathering)
We found a rhythm that is sweet and divine
Everything is falling perfectly in line
[Chorus]
[Female Vocalist]
(Lush, rich vocal melody, wide soulful harmonies, uplifting and bright)
We are stepping out into the golden light!
Leaving all the heavy worries in the night!
Yeah, we are stepping out into the golden light!
Everything is beautiful and working out right!
[Verse 2]
[Male Rapper]
(Rhythmic, smiling delivery with pidgin phrases)
Yeah, look at the culture, look at the grace
Nothing but happiness inside this place
We play the highlife, we play the groove
Making the whole of the continent move
No need to rush what is already sweet
Just feel the guitar and the drum as they meet
Pass the good energy all round the town
We built a foundation, it ain't going down
[Chorus]
[Female Vocalist]
(Lush, rich vocal melody, wide soulful harmonies, uplifting and bright)
We are stepping out into the golden light!
Leaving all the heavy worries in the night!
Yeah, we are stepping out into the golden light!
Everything is beautiful and working out right!
[Bridge]
[Male Rapper]
(Drums pause, sweet highlife guitar soloing in background)
Yeah, from the East to the West, we keep it true.
[Female Vocalist]
(High emotional vocal belt, sliding notes)
There is nothing that we cannot do!
When the music plays, we find our way!
[Chorus]
[Female Vocalist]
(Full highlife band breakout, bright brass accents, maximum vocal power)
We are stepping out into the golden light!
Leaving all the heavy worries in the night!
Yeah, we are stepping out into the golden light!
Everything is beautiful and working out right!
[Outro]
[Female Vocalist]
(Soft guitar fade, joyful ad-libs)
Into the light... oyolima...
[Male Rapper]
(Relaxed final sign-off)
Yeah. True highlife.
(Guitar final chord rings out to silence)
