[Pre-Chorus: Yemi Alade]
Were you dey yesterday
When the gunman shoot men down?
No retreat, no surrender
If them push you, no fall down
Many come, many go
We no dey sleep, we dey for road
We come in peace
Not in pieces

[Verse 3: Angelique Kidjo]
A glimpse of hope in humanity
The last frontier of our own sanity
Spread your love to all equally
And plant the seeds of radical beauty


[Bridge: Angelique Kidjo & Yemi Alade]
The wind will blow, a light will show
Real beauty on a brand new day
The wind will blow, a light will show
Real beauty on a brand new day
It will glow on a brand new day
A clear way on a brand new day
It will glow on a brand new day
We'll get down on a brand new day

[Chorus: Angelique Kidjo & Yemi Alade]
Walk with your head straight (Respect is reciprocal, is reciprocal)
Stand with your head straight (Respect is reciprocal)
Walk with your head straight (Respect is reciprocal, is reciprocal)
Stand with your head straight (Respect is reciprocal)
