[Verse 1] The storm came down like a broken prayer, Winds cried loud, but the love still there, Homes may fall, but the heart won’t bend, From the mountains to the sea again. The island weeps but it still believes, Every tear grows another seed, Through the rain, through the fire, We keep singing higher and higher. [Pre-Chorus] And I see your colors shining through, Gold and green, and the red so true, Even when the night feels long, You’re the rhythm of a thousand songs. [Chorus] Rise, Jamaica, rise again, From the ashes, from the pain, You’re the sun after the rain, Oh, Jamaica, rise again. Hold each other, hand in hand, We’re your people, we understand, From Kingston to Negril sand— Rise, Jamaica, rise again. [Verse 2] Voices lift like the morning sky, Drums of hope in the lullaby, Every soul got a story to tell, Of how love broke through the hurricane’s spell. [Pre-Chorus] And I see the children start to smile, Faith been sleeping for a while, But it’s waking up in your eyes, Like the dawn in paradise. [Chorus] Rise, Jamaica, rise again, From the ashes, from the pain, You’re the sun after the rain, Oh, Jamaica, rise again. Hold each other, hand in hand, We’re your people, we understand, From Kingston to Negril sand— Rise, Jamaica, rise again. [Bridge – gospel choir + reggaeton beat builds] Ohhh, we’ll build it back stronger, Our hearts will last longer, No wave can wash away The soul of the bay, The rhythm of faith will stay. [Breakdown – spoken / rap tone] Mi island strong, mi people brave, Through every storm, through every wave, Love is the shelter, hope is the flame, And Jah still whisper your name. [Final Chorus] Rise, Jamaica, rise again, From the ashes, from the pain, You’re the sun after the rain, Oh, Jamaica, rise again. From the hills to ocean’s bend, We’ll rebuild and we’ll defend, With one heart we’ll stand— Rise, Jamaica, rise again. [Outro – soft, soulful vocals + violin] Ooh, rise again, Sweet Jamaica, rise again, You’re my home, my friend, Rise again.
