Lyrics
Description
[Intro]
Slow sway, low drum — feel it in the chest
Salt on the wind, market smoke and mango flesh
(We keep the island light)
[Verse 1]
I come back down the road where the quay remembers me,
Old board planks creak, children run free.
Market chants and mango on my tongue,
Rum tin laughing, steelpan hums.
Reef lights flicker like a lanterned home,
Footprints in the sand where we used to roam.
Short breaths, quick smiles — memory tight,
I breathe this night, I hold this light.
[Pre-Chorus]
Mama on the stoop with a towel and a grin,
Breeze says welcome, let the music in.
Skank on the offbeat, bass roll slow,
Hearts nod together — now we know.
[Chorus]
We keep the island light — (keep it bright)
We keep the island light — (feel the night)
Island light forever — feel the heartbeat rise,
We keep the island light — under velvet skies.
(We keep the island light) — short, true, and tight.
[Verse 2]
I left with suitcases full of city noise,
Dreams of neon, fast and hollow joys.
But here there's a quay where old lovers meet,
Rum on the tongue, drum in the street.
My sister calls my name from the market stall,
Children build castles by the breaker's call.
I fold my leaving into a pocket of sand,
Return to the circle, take her hand.
[Pre-Chorus]
Steelpan echoes like a call-and-response,
Neighbours clap slow, the night runs on.
Little lights bob on the reef like tiny fires,
Bring your song, bring your prayers, your desires.
[Chorus]
We keep the island light — (keep it bright)
We keep the island light — (feel the night)
Island light forever — feel the heartbeat rise,
We keep the island light — under velvet skies.
(We keep the island light) — short, true, and tight.
[Bridge]
Once I doubted if I still belonged,
City sirens loud, heartstrings pulled wrong.
I wondered if the colors had faded away,
If the quay would know my name today.
But a lone drum called out, the bass held me near,
A woman's voice sang clear — wiped the fear.
Now every doubt dissolves with the tide,
We find our place, our song, inside.
[Break - Instrumental]
(72–78 BPM — skank guitar, deep bass, mellow organ fills)
[Chorus — Call & Response]
We keep the island light — you sing it loud!
We keep the island light — (we sing it proud)
Island light forever — feel the heartbeat rise,
We keep the island light — under velvet skies.
(We keep the island light) — short, true, and tight.
[Outro]
Come down to the quay, come taste the night,
Market smoke, mango sweet, everything's right.
We keep the island light — irie, one love,
Hands to the sky — blessings from above.
(We keep the island light) — fade on the tide,
Island light forever — with you by my side.
