Smile, Jamaica (Wi Rise Again)

Inspired by :
- "Take me Home Country Roads" of Toots and the Maytals (1974)
- "Pass the Dutchie" of Musical Youth (1982)
- "I Can See Clearly now" of Jimmy Cliff (1993) [Hey Sanka, are you dead ? No Dennis, I'm alive - Rasta Rocket]
- "Land of Jamaïca" of Richie Spice (2000)
- "Smile Jamaïca" of Chronixx (2013) 
(God bless Jamaïca)

Verse 1
These country roads are muddy, still they carry us home,
Open roofs like lanterns, but our spirit stands strong.
Across the yard a neighbor calls, “Yuh good? Wi deh yah,”
A heartbeat on a hand drum keeps the courage we share.
Steam rising from the kettle, morning paints every lane,
We count blessings like shells, not the measure of rain.
Hands on hammers, hearts in time — step by step we begin,
Small light in the window whisper: “Tek heart, walk in.”

Pre-Chorus
When the waters climbed high, we held on as one,
Now a silver edge breaks on the front of the sun.

Chorus
Smile, Jamaica — wi rise again,
From ridge to shoreline, hope comes riding the wind.
Out of many, one — our voices blend,
Smile, Jamaica — wi rise again.

Verse 2
Blue Mountain coffee warming palms and plans,
We pass the pot around to neighbors, friends, and fam.
Children chase the puddles; laughter clears the sky,
Sound system by the gate hums a gentle lullaby.
We mend what we can; what we can’t, we replace,
Every nail like a note in a song of this place.
Not broken, just bending, like bamboo in rain,
Likkle but tallawah — strong all the same.

Pre-Chorus
Clouds drift out to sea; the streets begin to sing,
Every home a chorus, every voice a string.

Chorus
Smile, Jamaica — wi rise again,
Sun climbs the hills and lights the plains.
No worry yuh head — hold firm, my friend,
Smile, Jamaica — wi rise again.

Bridge
I see the horizon wide and clear,
Tiny island, mighty heart — no room for fear.
What bends won’t break; we stand and repair,
Hand in hand, we lift the prayer.

Breakdown
Jamaica!
Wi deh yah!

Final Chorus
Smile, Jamaica — wi rise again,
Wi rise — wi rise again.
Smile, Jamaica — wi rise again,
Stand tall — wi rise again.
Smile, Jamaica — wi rise again,
Out of many, one — our voices blend.
Smile, Jamaica — wi rise again,
Hope pon di wind till di very end.

Outro
Wi rise… hold tight…
Jamaica, shine again…
Wi rise again.
