It is presented in three different cuts and is available from all online music stores and streaming platforms.

Lyrics:
“And you step and I dub and the pressure goes up, yeah mmm
And I dub and you step then it’s time to reset, yeah
And you step and I dub and the pressure goes up, yeah mmm
And I dub and you step then it’s time to reset, yeah
Rewind / Come again / Reset and go / With the flow / Burning snow
Tears in a row, millions of them, heartbreaks heart takes
Humanity / I long for unity /
Unity / Give me some unity
Let the delay lead the way / That’s what I say / again and again /I’ve been saying it
Were you hearing it / Are you feeling / or simply getting it cause it’s not the same
Let the delay lead the way / That’s what I say / again and again”

Dub Cmd & SistaSara - Deeper Understanding

"Show appreciation, let it glow
Daily introspection, let it flow

Light for every nation you will see
Consciousness expanding
Deeper understanding

Let everyone know life is worth so much more
And the blessings can reveal that for sure
May everyone know life is worth so much more
And the blessings can reveal that for sure

Eventually light will shine on again
Humankind rebirth / Soul-search on earth
 Let everyone know life is worth so much more
And the blessings can reveal that for sure"

The admiration of each other's music led to their first collaboration … and they are both working on some more tunes, since SistaSara will be giving a word and a voice on some tracks on Dub Cmd's upcoming album in 2020.
