We dey move like the sundial motion lyrics
Verse
Shadow crawling slow across the courtyard stone
Twelve o'clock and we already grown
Mango juice running down your wrist
Sun so loud we can't resist
Bicycle tires kicking up the dust
Summer got a rhythm we can trust
Watch the line move on the wall
Chase it till the evening call
Pre-Chorus
Tell me how far can we run
Before the shadow beats the sun
Ay-ay, time no dey wait for no one
Let's move before the day is done
Chorus
We dey move like the sundial motion
Chasing light, chasing gold, no slowing
Young and free, feet on the ocean floor
Sundial motion, give us one hour more
Sun dey turn but we still glowing
Sundial motion, keep us going
Verse
Fourteen years but we feel like kings tonight
Rooftop concrete holding all the light
Radio crackling highlife tune
Chasing shadows till the afternoon
Your slippers slapping on the ground
Every corner got a different sound
Time dey move but nobody mind
We dey living, we dey outside
Pre-Chorus
Tell me how far can we run
Before the shadow beats the sun
Ay-ay, time no dey wait for no one
Let's move before the day is done
Chorus
We dey move like the sundial motion
Chasing light, chasing gold, no slowing
Young and free, feet on the ocean floor
Sundial motion, give us one hour more
Sun dey turn but we still glowing
Sundial motion, keep us going
Bridge
One day we go look back at this
Dust and sun and mango bliss
No clock could ever hold us in
This the only hour we win
Hold it now before it's gone
Stretch the shadow, make it long
Chorus
We dey move like the sundial motion
Chasing light, chasing gold, no slowing
Young and free, feet on the ocean floor
Sundial motion, give us one hour more
Sun dey turn but we still glowing
Sundial motion, keep us going
