[Intro: Offbeat guitar skanks, deep bass pulses, nyabinghi drums enter, 8 bars]
[Verse 1: Acoustic skank guitar, warm bassline, light shaker]
Bare feet on cool grass
Dew still clinging to my toes
Sun just peeking over the ridge
Washing yesterday’s dust from my clothes
[Chorus: Full groove, layered harmonies, steady kick]
Feel it rising in my chest
Like the tide pulled by the moon
Every step feels like a blessing
Morning light breaks through too soon
[Verse 2: Bassline swells, tambourine accents]
Neighbor waves from her porch swing
Says, “Today’s got a different sound”
I nod—can’t explain it
But the silence speaks out loud
[Chorus: Full groove, harmonies thicker, bass more prominent]
Feel it rising in my chest
Stronger than the storm we knew
Every breath is a new rhythm
And this old road feels brand new
[Bridge: Drums drop to half-time, organ pad swells]
No grand plan, no map in hand
Just this heartbeat keeping time
With the wind through the breadfruit trees
And the hope that won’t stay behind
[Chorus: Full band, harmonies stacked, triumphant]
FEEL IT RISING IN MY CHEST!
LOUDER THAN THE DOUBT WE KNEW!
EVERY STEP IS A PROMISE KEPT!
MORNING LIGHT—IT BREAKS FOR YOU!
[Outro: Guitar skanks fade, bass sustains, nyabinghi drums echo, 6 bars]
