Sri Lanka” (Song Lyrics) Verse 1 Sri Lanka calling, wild and free National parks as far as you can see Elephants roaming, monkeys in the trees Reptiles in shadows, birds on the breeze Hundreds of species painting the sky Whale songs echo as the blue rolls by Fishing the ocean, stories to tell Moments that matter, where meaning will dwell Pre-Chorus From the mountains down to the shore Every step makes you want more Chorus Sri Lanka, feel the sun Where the rivers and the oceans run Tropical heartbeat, slow and strong A place where every soul belongs Sri Lanka, breathe it in Golden days on cinnamon wind Three times over, let it ring Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka sing Verse 2 High rising mountains, valleys so deep Waterfalls diving in endless leaps Houses clinging to hillsides steep Secrets the jungle will always keep Rice fields glowing, rivers run brown Egrets ride where the buffalo drown Rainforest whispers, ancient and wide Nature and rhythm walk side by side Verse 3 Smiling faces in golden light Easy laughter from morn till night Curries cooking—spice in the air Rice and chicken and flavors to share From A to B in a wild ballet Tuk-tuks racing, horns that play Left-side driving with fearless grace Chaos and kindness in the same embrace Pre-Chorus Every turn, a different view Every mile, something new Chorus Sri Lanka, feel the sun Where the rivers and the oceans run Tropical heartbeat, slow and strong A place where every soul belongs Sri Lanka, breathe it in Golden days on cinnamon wind Three times over, let it ring Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka sing Verse 4 School bells ringing, uniforms neat Girls take selfies out in the heat Boys play cricket in dusty light Dreaming of glory, day into night Temples glowing in robes of white Ancient prayers in morning light Buddha watches, calm and wise Faith and freedom under open skies Verse 5 Early mornings, late-night drinks Ocean warmth where the horizon sinks Snorkels dipping in turquoise dreams Cold beer melting in sunset beams Simple hotels with open doors Kindness living in humble cores Eggs and curry to start the day Coffee and fruit in a spicy array Bridge Count your rupees, do the math Cheap little paradise on your path But some things cost what they must be worth Still feels like heaven here on earth Final Chorus (Extended) Sri Lanka, feel the sun Where the rivers and the oceans run Tropical heartbeat, wild and free This is where you’re meant to be Sri Lanka, hold it tight Golden days and velvet nights Let the island song take over you In every color, every hue Sri Lanka, hear the call You won’t forget it once at all Say it loud, let your spirit thank Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka
