"Rise up, rise up! Yeah, yeah, yeah—"
Sunrise blaze on the ocean tide
Market woman call, "Come step inside!"
Steam from the pot and the riddim come strong
Bassline heavy and the whole street sing along!
Roots in the morning, shining so bright!
Shining so bright!
Jah bless the day, keep it full of light!
Full of light!
Roots in the morning, hearts feelin' right!
One love, one people, glowin' in sight!
Fisherman shout with the catch of the day
Old man dance while the children play
Colours fly high in the island breeze
This is the life that set your soul free!
Roots in the morning, shining so bright!
Shining so bright!
Jah bless the day, keep it full of light!
Full of light!
Roots in the morning, hearts feelin' right!
One love, one people, glowin' in sight!
Feel the drums beat down in your chest
Voices rise high with the island's best
From hillside farms to the ocean sand
We all stand strong, it's the Jah Jah plan!
Roots in the morning, shining so bright
Voices together, lifting the night
Roots in the morning, hearts feeling free
Island forever, that's destiny!
"Ohhh— roots in the morning!
Shining, shining! Ohhh— Ohhh—
