Reggae
Lyrics
Description
[Verse 1]
Sun cracks through the lattice roof, warm on my face
Old vinyl spins a crackled tune, stories interlace
Bare feet tracing salt-stained boards, time moves slow
Troubles pinned like seashells, but the tide says let it go
[Pre-Chorus]
Palm shadows sway, forgetting the weights and the clocks
The ocean hums a hymn beneath the docks
[Chorus]
Sunshine and vibes, pouring through this island air
Lift me from the dust, leave behind my care
Heartbeats in rhythm with the rolling sea’s sigh—
Here where the light won't let the heaviness lie
[Verse 2]
Mango juice drips sticky trails, laughter in the breeze
Stories told in cracked smiles under hibiscus trees
Even nights hold a warmth, like whispers on a thread
Sweeping up the dark, where worries used to tread
[Pre-Chorus]
Fireflies flash quiet glimmers in the low, soft night
Among the palms, the stars flicker with borrowed light
[Chorus]
Sunshine and vibes, pouring through this island air
Lift me from the dust, leave behind my care
Heartbeats in rhythm with the rolling sea’s sigh—
Here where the light won't let the heaviness lie
[Bridge]
Let the rhythm crawl like ivy over broken stone,
Roots gripping deep, in the soil, we’ve grown
Hands are knotted ropes pulling one another home
No need for wings when the tide lets us roam
[Chorus]
Sunshine and vibes, pouring through this island air
Lift me from the dust, leave behind my care
Heartbeats in rhythm with the rolling sea’s sigh—
Here where the light won't let the heaviness lie
[Outro]
Barefoot in the dawn, feet tangled in the sand—
With these sunshine and vibes, life feels less planned.
