Jamaica Is Waiting for You
Look at you, moving too fast again,
Trying to fly without feeling where you land.
The sun takes its time, resting in the sea,
But you want it all now, no time to breathe.
The waves keep telling you there's time still there,
But you don't know how to read the light so clear.
The breeze calls your name, says slow your pace,
Jamaica wants to keep you safe.
Jamaica is waiting for you,
Don't rush so hard, my brother, slow.
Your soul gets left behind
When you're running nonstop on the road.
Life is more than just to win,
It's also dreaming, letting go.
Jamaica is waiting for you,
Sit down, watch the ocean flow.
You look tired, even if you don't see,
You lost the rhythm of the sunrise beat.
Your mother prays, your family too,
That you'll find your peace in the path you choose.
There's so much on the corner you pass by,
A laughing child, an old man's eyes.
Time doesn't run, it watches you move,
With all that hurry that proves nothing to prove.
Jamaica is waiting for you,
Don't rush so hard, my brother, slow.
Your soul gets left behind
When you're running nonstop on the road.
Life is more than just to win,
It's also dreaming, letting go.
Jamaica is waiting for you,
Sit down, watch the ocean flow.
It's not about arriving first,
Or owning the whole wide world at once.
Sometimes the truest sky you'll see
Is shining through a warm rainstorm.
Montego Bay is waiting for you,
The moon is watching over you tonight.
Your dreams won't fade away
If you stop a while and sing your life.
Life is more than running fast,
It's also dancing in the light.
The Jamaican people is waiting for you,
Negril and Ocho Rios are calling.
