Jamaica's Wild Heartbeat

In the heart of Jamaica where the sun kisses the sea Late 60s whispers, a rhythm born wild and free Heartbeat syncopation like the heartbeat of the land Bass lines thundering deep, gripping the soul with steady hand From the hills of Kingston to the shores of Montego Bay Voices rise in harmony, chasing the shadows away Porreggae, sweet reggae, carry me through the night Social justice calling in your spiritual life Relax in the one drop, feel the skank in your veins Rastafarian fire breaking all the chains Uplifting rebellion with horns that cry and soar In your echo we duck, we find peace forevermore Prominent bass rumbling like the earth's own ancient drum Guitar skank and joyful under the island sun Themes of the oppressed woven in every line Spirituality blooming like ganja in a vine From roots deep in struggle to the dancehall's rebel call Reggae heals the weary, lifts us when we fall Porreggae, sweet reggae, carry me through the night Social justice calling in your spiritual life Relax in the one drop, feel the skank in your veins Rastafarian fire breaking all the chains Uplifting rebellion with horns that cry and soar In your echo we duck, we find peace forevermore Echoes in the reverb, delay like memories fade Drums pounding wisdom in the rhythm we've remade From Caribbean shores to the world's wide embrace Reggae's positive vibe puts a smile on every face No more Babylon's way, in this music we confide Spiritual relaxation where the soul can safely hide Porreggae, sweet reggae, carry me through the night Social justice calling in your spiritual life Relax in the one drop, feel the skank in your veins Rastafarian fire breaking all the chains Uplifting rebellion with horns that cry and soar In your echo we duck, we find peace forevermore Thanks for watching!
