Meet me where the lights kiss the dark, where shadows dance beneath the spark.

00:00:32.652 --> 00:00:44.747
Cars lined up under the silver screen glow, our secret getaway.

00:00:44.747 --> 00:00:47.514
Nobody will know.

00:00:47.514 --> 00:00:52.011
Popcorn crackles and whispers sing.

00:00:52.011 --> 00:00:59.072
Projector rolls like a magic spring.

00:00:59.072 --> 00:01:04.427
Sit close, baby.

00:01:04.427 --> 00:01:10.947
The stars will compete With the way your eyes turn.

00:01:10.947 --> 00:01:13.433
The night too sweet.

00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:18.371
Come to the drive-in theater with me.

00:01:18.371 --> 00:01:24.953
We'll make memories under the marquee.

The world can wait outside that gate.

It's real.

00:01:48.462 --> 00:01:49.608
Spin time.

00:01:49.608 --> 00:01:59.754
How my heart's translate your laughter echoes like a melody.

00:01:59.754 --> 00:02:04.409
This is the way love's meant to be.

00:02:04.409 --> 00:02:11.152
Nostalgic tunes hum through the air.

00:02:11.152 --> 00:02:15.147
You're electric.

00:02:15.147 --> 00:02:27.868
In the moonlight's glare, every scene fades as I hold your hand In your gaze.

00:02:27.868 --> 00:02:32.772
I found my promised land.

00:02:32.772 --> 00:02:37.217

The world can wait outside that gate.

00:03:18.358 --> 00:03:20.502
It's real.

00:03:20.502 --> 00:03:21.724
Spend time.

00:03:21.724 --> 00:03:31.419
How our hearts translate your laughter echoes like a melody.

00:03:31.419 --> 00:03:36.520
This is the way love's meant to be.

00:03:36.580 --> 00:04:01.834
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

In the moonlight's glare, every scene fades.

00:04:07.296 --> 00:04:16.634
As I hold your hand, in your gaze, I found my promised land.

00:04:18.084 --> 00:04:19.668
Come to the tribe.

00:04:19.668 --> 00:04:26.468
The sun wakes up and greets the sky.

00:04:26.468 --> 00:04:32.495
A golden world where dreams can fly.

00:04:32.495 --> 00:04:38.509
Each breath we take a chance to love.

00:04:38.509 --> 00:04:43.879
Every day's a gift from above.

00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:46.831
Every day's a gift from above.

00:04:46.831 --> 00:04:48.619
Feel the rhythm of the sacred light.

00:04:48.619 --> 00:04:51.930
Shine it brighter every night.

00:04:51.930 --> 00:04:55.017
With every step, we spread the love.

00:04:55.017 --> 00:05:02.927
Every day's a gift from above.

00:05:02.927 --> 00:05:15.420
Rain might fall, but it makes us grow.

00:05:15.420 --> 00:05:21.333
It feeds the seeds we didn't know.

00:05:21.333 --> 00:05:39.572
Each moment blooms like heaven's dove.

00:05:39.572 --> 00:05:41.694
Thank you, every night.

00:05:41.694 --> 00:05:45.076
With every step, we spread the love.

00:05:45.076 --> 00:05:48.218
Every day's a gift from above.

00:05:48.218 --> 00:05:51.382
Clap your hands, let the spirit flow.

00:05:51.382 --> 00:05:53.005
Feel the music.

00:05:53.005 --> 00:05:54.468
Let your heart glow.

00:05:54.468 --> 00:05:58.074
Through highs and lows, it's all enough.

00:05:58.074 --> 00:06:02.115
Every day's a gift from above.

00:06:02.115 --> 00:06:12.718
Feel the rhythm of the sacred light Shining brighter every night With every step we spread the love.

00:06:12.718 --> 00:06:21.687
Every day's a gift from above.

00:06:21.687 --> 00:06:39.892
A melody inside our chest Guides our hopes and never rests.

00:06:39.892 --> 00:06:46.112
Sing it strong with endless love.

00:06:47.860 --> 00:07:16.372
Every day's a gift from above, when the sky goes dark, no light to guide, you'll feel His love right by your side.

00:07:16.372 --> 00:07:24.026
Through the storms, through the raging sea, he's a whispering child.

00:07:24.026 --> 00:07:26.091
Lean on me.

00:07:26.091 --> 00:07:27.093
God's got you.

00:07:27.093 --> 00:07:34.350
Just believe, open your heart and you'll receive.

00:07:34.350 --> 00:07:38.769
Through every trial, he's always there.

00:07:38.769 --> 00:07:43.274
His love will carry you everywhere.

00:07:43.274 --> 00:07:52.192
When doubt tries to steal your grin, his love will carry you everywhere.

00:07:52.192 --> 00:08:01.367
When doubt tries to steal your grin, remember His strength lives deep within A hand that lifts a heart that heals A peace so pure.

00:08:01.367 --> 00:08:10.411
No one conceals Feet on the floor.

00:08:10.411 --> 00:08:20.675
Lift your hands up high, feel the spirit, make your soul fly, clap to the rhythm of his embrace.

00:08:20.675 --> 00:08:25.603
There's freedom here, in this holy space.

00:08:25.603 --> 00:08:26.685
God's got you.

00:08:26.685 --> 00:08:31.574
Just believe, open your heart and you'll receive.

00:08:31.574 --> 00:08:37.208
Through every trial, he's always there.

00:08:37.208 --> 00:08:40.695
His love will carry you everywhere.

00:08:40.695 --> 00:08:48.025
So dance with joy, let your faith ignite.

00:08:48.025 --> 00:08:53.388
The Lord is with you every single night when you believe.

00:08:53.388 --> 00:08:55.292
No fear, no shame.

00:08:55.292 --> 00:08:59.822
He's got you wrapped in His holy name.

00:08:59.822 --> 00:09:23.600
So dance with joy, let your faith ignite.

00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:31.347
The Lord is with you every single night when you believe.

00:09:31.347 --> 00:09:33.231
No fear, no shame.

00:09:33.231 --> 00:09:37.903
He's got you wrapped in His holy name.

00:09:37.903 --> 00:09:52.238
So dance with joy.

00:09:52.238 --> 00:09:54.220
Let your faith ignite.

00:09:54.220 --> 00:10:00.966
The Lord is with you every single night when you believe.

00:10:00.966 --> 00:10:02.892
No fear, no shame.

00:10:02.892 --> 00:10:33.793
He's got you wrapped in His holy name Under the tumbleweed skies, watching the sunlight.

00:10:33.793 --> 00:10:36.399
Kiss goodbye.

00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:48.188
With a heart so full, I take a chance and whisper low.

00:10:48.188 --> 00:10:52.586
May I have this dance.

00:10:52.586 --> 00:11:19.014
May I have this dance tonight, out here, where stars shine bright, just you and me, our sweet romance holding you close.

00:11:19.014 --> 00:11:22.990
May I have this dance.

00:11:22.990 --> 00:11:45.984
The desert breeze, it hums a tune Soft as the glow of the rising moon.

00:11:45.984 --> 00:11:51.390
Your eyes shine like firelight's glance.

00:11:51.390 --> 00:11:56.412
I can't resist.

00:11:56.412 --> 00:12:03.274
May I have this dance.

00:12:03.274 --> 00:12:30.289
May I have this dance tonight, out here, where stars shine bright, just you and me, our sweet romance holding you close.

00:12:30.289 --> 00:12:34.110
May I have this dance?

00:12:34.110 --> 00:12:40.572
Let the sand deep our flow.

00:12:40.572 --> 00:12:50.986
Oh, two hearts wanting nothing more In your arms.

00:12:50.986 --> 00:12:58.044
Time slows its stance, forever asking.

00:12:58.044 --> 00:13:04.835
May I have this dance?

00:13:04.835 --> 00:13:14.033
Let the sand be our floor.

00:13:14.033 --> 00:13:24.905
Oh, two hearts wanting nothing more In your arms.

00:13:24.905 --> 00:13:27.672
Time slows its stance.

00:13:27.672 --> 00:13:45.034
Forever asking, forever asking.

00:13:45.034 --> 00:13:46.679
May I have this dance?

00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:53.960
Let the sand be our floor.

00:13:53.960 --> 00:14:02.139
Two hearts wanting nothing more In your arms.

00:14:02.139 --> 00:14:06.596
Time slows its stance Forever.

00:14:08.683 --> 00:14:13.673
You showed up like a ghost in the rain.

00:14:13.673 --> 00:14:20.394
Years have passed, but the hurt won't wane.

00:14:20.394 --> 00:14:25.208
We shared secrets.

00:14:25.208 --> 00:14:27.453
We swore to keep.

00:14:27.453 --> 00:14:34.212
Now they haunt the air so deep.

00:14:34.212 --> 00:14:41.312
Old friend, where did you go?

00:14:41.312 --> 00:14:52.883
Time took you fast, left me slow, tracing steps.

00:14:52.883 --> 00:14:55.063
The world forgot.

00:14:55.063 --> 00:15:16.927
We are now at Upper Session Road, in my chest, a faded tune that I know best.

00:15:16.927 --> 00:15:23.917
We carved our dreams on weathered stone.

00:15:23.917 --> 00:15:30.831
Now I'm standing here all alone.

00:15:30.831 --> 00:15:45.553
The seasons rolled, but you stayed still, a picture framed on my windowsill.

00:15:45.553 --> 00:15:59.096
The years have weathered my old face, but your smile stayed in that same place.

00:15:59.096 --> 00:16:05.812
Old friend, where did you go?

00:16:05.812 --> 00:16:17.625
Time took you fast, left me slow, tracing steps.

00:16:17.625 --> 00:16:20.653
The world forgot.

00:16:20.653 --> 00:16:41.413
On these old trails we once walked, I wonder if you ever called my name, whispered low through the autumn flame.

00:16:41.413 --> 00:17:17.472
If these words ever reach your heart, could they mend where we fell apart.

00:17:17.472 --> 00:17:37.852
I wonder if you ever called my name, whispered low through the autumn flame.

00:17:37.852 --> 00:17:52.628
If these words ever reach your heart, could they mend where we fell apart.

00:18:05.079 --> 00:18:05.279
Bob Miley.

00:18:05.279 --> 00:18:11.269
This Jamaican singer-songwriter and guitarist emerged as a global icon in the 1970s with his distinctive fusion of reggae, ska and rocksteady that brought international attention to Jamaican music.

00:18:11.269 --> 00:18:12.811
That brought international attention to Jamaican music.

00:18:12.811 --> 00:18:22.036
At the frontman of a legendary reggae band, he crafted powerful songs that tackle social and political issues, while promoting messages of love, unity and spirituality.

00:18:22.036 --> 00:18:29.221
Today, his enduring legacy as both a musician and cultural figure continues to inspire millions around the world.

00:18:29.221 --> 00:18:52.057
I'm going to go to the next store and buy some snacks.

00:18:54.682 --> 00:18:56.146
I'm going to buy a lot of snacks.

00:18:56.146 --> 00:19:02.938
I'm going to buy a lot of snacks.

00:19:02.938 --> 00:19:08.159
I'm going to buy a lot of snacks.

00:19:08.159 --> 00:19:11.144
I'm going to buy a lot of snacks.

00:19:11.144 --> 00:19:13.309
Still, gates swing wide.

00:19:13.309 --> 00:19:15.534
I breathe the night.

00:19:15.534 --> 00:19:17.826
The chains are gone.

00:19:17.826 --> 00:19:24.853
I see the light, sky painted red like a life unmade.

00:19:24.853 --> 00:19:28.851
I'm walking free, but left with shade.

00:19:28.851 --> 00:19:31.087
I'm out, but I'm not home.

00:19:31.087 --> 00:19:38.354
My body's free, my soul still roams.

00:19:38.882 --> 00:19:46.884
Every step or road I know Freedom, heavy as this stone.

00:19:46.884 --> 00:20:03.157
I taste the air, but it's bittersweet.

00:20:03.157 --> 00:20:07.171
My shadow dances down these streets.

00:20:07.171 --> 00:20:12.672
Whispers follow like a ghostly hymn.

00:20:12.672 --> 00:20:16.590
The man I was still locked within.

00:20:16.590 --> 00:20:19.048
I'm out, but I'm not home.

00:20:19.048 --> 00:20:25.092
My body's free, my soul still rolls.

00:20:25.092 --> 00:20:34.772
Every step, a road unknown Freedom, heavy as this stone.

00:20:34.772 --> 00:20:40.553
The city harms a tune of loss.

00:20:40.553 --> 00:20:43.627
Time moved on.

00:20:43.627 --> 00:20:54.330
Now I'm the cost, a stranger where I used to stand, a broken watch watching a ticking light.

00:20:54.330 --> 00:20:57.527
I'm out, but I'm not home.

00:20:57.527 --> 00:21:02.867
My body's free, my soul still rolls.

00:21:02.867 --> 00:21:13.163
Every step, a road unknown Freedom, heavy as this stone.

00:21:13.163 --> 00:21:35.994
Freedom heavy as this stone.

00:21:36.957 --> 00:21:42.749
Under the lamppost I caught your glance.

00:21:42.749 --> 00:21:50.929
A shadow danced in the night's romance.

00:21:50.929 --> 00:21:58.009
Your smile lit up the wicked street.

00:21:58.009 --> 00:22:02.125
A fleeting dream that felt so sweet.

00:22:02.125 --> 00:22:09.348
Oh, baby, let's sway under city light.

00:22:09.348 --> 00:22:26.637
This moment's magic feels so right, so right.

00:22:26.637 --> 00:22:27.621
Just you and me.

00:22:27.621 --> 00:22:30.371
Till the mornings glow.

00:22:34.055 --> 00:22:39.334
The rhythm of love is all we know.

00:22:39.334 --> 00:22:46.714
The clock it ticks, but time stands still.

00:22:46.714 --> 00:22:53.465
Your laughter echoes, it always will.

00:22:53.465 --> 00:23:00.141
With every step my heart beats fast.

00:23:00.141 --> 00:23:00.662
A doo-wop dream.

00:23:00.662 --> 00:23:02.788
My hope will last.

00:23:02.788 --> 00:23:09.307
Oh baby, let's sway under city life.

00:23:09.307 --> 00:23:18.901
This moment's magic feels so right, so right.

00:23:18.901 --> 00:23:27.980
Just you and me.

00:23:27.980 --> 00:23:30.009
Till the morning's glow.

00:23:30.009 --> 00:23:36.382
The rhythm of love is all we know.

00:23:36.382 --> 00:23:44.657
Echoes of footsteps in time.

00:23:44.657 --> 00:23:47.683
We trace Beneath these stars.

00:23:47.683 --> 00:23:50.528
We found our place.

00:23:50.528 --> 00:24:02.125
Your shadow, soft, your voice, is near Every melody I hold so dear.

00:24:02.125 --> 00:24:08.026
Oh baby, let's sway under city light.

00:24:08.026 --> 00:24:27.621
This moment's magic feels so right, so right.

00:24:27.621 --> 00:24:28.243
Just you and me.

00:24:28.243 --> 00:24:30.330
Till the morning's glow.

00:24:30.330 --> 00:25:19.846
The rhythm of love is all we know.

00:25:19.846 --> 00:25:21.088
Thank you, oh baby, love pups in time.

00:25:21.088 --> 00:25:23.614
We trace Beneath these stars.

00:25:23.614 --> 00:25:24.115
We found our place.

00:25:24.115 --> 00:25:58.712
Your shadow, soft, your voice is near Every melody I hold so dear.

00:25:58.772 --> 00:26:07.768
What's it gonna take for the world to unite when we all talk loud but can't see the light?

00:26:07.768 --> 00:26:20.428
Perched on a fence where the cracks feel deep, a million voices crying, no one's losing sleep.

00:26:20.428 --> 00:26:31.767
We build up walls but forget how to climb, caught in a loop, but we're wasting our time.

00:26:31.767 --> 00:26:43.823
The tenor whispers where words can't tread, a melody soft when the angle once fed.

00:26:43.823 --> 00:26:51.304
But now, what's it gonna take For hearts to break?

00:26:51.304 --> 00:26:59.766
Is it the silence or the storms we make Step by step?

00:26:59.766 --> 00:27:02.003
Can we find the groove?

00:27:02.003 --> 00:27:05.401
One world, one rhythm.

00:27:05.401 --> 00:27:07.950
Let the people move.

00:27:07.950 --> 00:27:11.903
Why do we fold?

00:27:11.903 --> 00:27:13.207
When the cards get rough?

00:27:13.207 --> 00:27:14.838
Blame gets heavy.

00:27:14.838 --> 00:27:16.304
Man, these hands feel tough.

00:27:16.776 --> 00:27:22.384
Short breaths linger where the sax laments Soulful echoes in the space it's spent.

00:27:22.384 --> 00:27:25.104
Shadows throw fists, but they never connect.

00:27:25.104 --> 00:27:28.184
Hollow arguments and no self-respect.

00:27:28.184 --> 00:27:31.825
A tune drifts slow like a question on this.

00:27:31.825 --> 00:27:39.230
Are we too far gone or is it time to unmask?

00:27:39.230 --> 00:27:45.260
And what's it gonna take for hearts to break?

00:27:45.260 --> 00:27:53.740
Is it the silence or the storms we make Step by step?

00:27:53.740 --> 00:27:55.768
Can we find the groove?

00:27:55.768 --> 00:27:59.221
One world, one rhythm.

00:27:59.221 --> 00:28:03.836
Let the people move.

00:28:03.836 --> 00:28:17.924
One world, one rhythm.

00:28:17.924 --> 00:28:28.750
Let the people.

00:28:28.750 --> 00:28:31.833
What's it gonna take for hearts to break?

00:28:31.833 --> 00:28:41.798
Is it the silence or the storms we make Step by step.

00:28:41.798 --> 00:28:44.240
Can't we find the groove?

00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:47.246
One world, one rhythm.

00:28:47.246 --> 00:28:49.630
Let the people move.

00:29:33.958 --> 00:29:35.557
We are now at Upper Session Road.

00:29:35.557 --> 00:29:36.818
Step by step, can we find the groove?

00:29:36.818 --> 00:29:38.259
One girl, one rhythm.

00:29:38.259 --> 00:29:39.519
Never put them in a groove.
