Message for all
Today you'll dance,
You'll share each other
Elders will stumble,
The babies will crawl
Put down your weapons, put
Down your chosen ones
Put on your best clothes,
Stand straight and tall
Don't give up on your desire,
I can understand your thirst
Put another one before you,
Help someone else first
Today is a day for
Someone else,
Today is a day for
Someone else
Today is a day for
Someone else
This moment is yours and you
Can give it to someone else
She carries news travels

Message for all
Today you'll dance,

The babies will crawl
Put down your weapons, put

Put on your best clothes,
Stand straight and tall
Don't give up on your desire,
I can understand your thirst
Put another one before you,
Help someone else first
Today is a day for

This moment is yours and you
Can give it to someone else
This moment is yours and you
Can give it to someone else [Repeat until the end]
[The rest of the song is played in the background]
Put down your weapons,
Put down your chosen ones
Leave expectations at the door
You are your brother
You are your sister
Communication, start
Giving more
Don't stop believing,
Continue to give praise
Your exaltation is a good thing
Just take those teachings,
The ones of light
Of celebration, and start to sing
