(Yeah, yeah)
Living in the yard, living in the light
It’s a beautiful day, everything is alright
One love in the neighborhood
Listen to the rhythm now
Early morning sun is peeking through the trees
I feel the goodness blowing on the summer breeze
I see my neighbor Salifyanji standing tall
She’s the mother to Mulenga, helping through it all
Next door is Mary, always keeping things bright
And Abel by her side, working day and night
It’s a simple life we live, side by side
With nothing to fear and nothing to hide
Oh, we’re living in a neighborhood so sweet
Walking to the rhythm on the dusty street
Salifyanji, Mary, Abel, we are one
Underneath the golden, warming morning sun
Yes, we’re living in a neighborhood so sweet
Where the kindness and the rhythm always meet
Keep the vibration high, let the spirit flow
That’s the only way we know how to grow
And then there comes Angela walking in the room
Chasing out the shadows, chasing out the gloom
She’s the funniest soul that I have ever known
Planting seeds of laughter everywhere she’s grown
She looks to Salifyanji as her mentor and guide
With wisdom and humor walking side by side
When Angela speaks, everybody starts to smile
Making life feel easy for every single mile
Oh, we’re living in a neighborhood so sweet
Walking to the rhythm on the dusty street
Salifyanji, Mary, Abel, we are one
Underneath the golden, warming morning sun
Yes, we’re living in a neighborhood so sweet
Where the kindness and the rhythm always meet
Keep the vibration high, let the spirit flow
That’s the only way we know how to grow
It’s the connection that we share, the bond that we keep
Through the waking hours and while we’re fast asleep
Neighbors are the family that you choose along the way
Giving thanks and praises for another lovely day
Mulenga is growing, watching how they move
Learning all the lessons in the pocket and the groove
From the laughter of Angela to the wisdom in the talk
We’re steady on the path, we’re steady on the walk
No matter the challenge, we rise up together
Keeping it steady in the changing of the weather
This is the community, this is the peace
Praying that the harmony will never ever cease
Oh, we’re living in a neighborhood so sweet
Walking to the rhythm on the dusty street
Salifyanji, Mary, Abel, we are one
Underneath the golden, warming morning sun
Yes, we’re living in a neighborhood so sweet
Where the kindness and the rhythm always meet
Keep the vibration high, let the spirit flow
That’s the only way we know how to grow
Salifyanji, Mary, Abel, Angela too
We’re giving all the love right back to you
Keep on laughing, keep on living
Keep on loving, keep on giving
Yeah, it’s all love
One neighborhood, one heart
