| Every day I rise on a prayer |
| That’s all I got to take me through |
| I know one day, I must and I will |
| Free myself from everything that holds me captive |
| Gonna be free like a bird in the sky |
| Gonna be free, gonna fly so high |
| Gonna be free, gonna free my mind |
| Gonna be free, gonna fly so high |
| Life is so sweet and I don’t wanna die |
| But this burden I bare could be hard sometimes |
| Food scarce so me juggle everywhere |
| Sometimes me make a move, me can’t find no bus fare |
| Go look for mama Jai, she says a na nottin' a da dare |
| Pun da youth, dem face, I see the pain |
| I know I wanna get the most out of life |
| So we all agree, cause I need to pray |
| The youths, stay sharp |
| We have to survive 'til the end |
| Gonna be free like a bird in the sky |
| Gonna be free, gonna fly so high |
| Gonna be free, gonna free my mind |
| Gonna be free, gonna fly so high |
| Youths in de Garden, youths in de Jungle |
| Youths in a Rema, August Town |
| Youths in a flanca, dela pear river |
| Turn back to and ma town |
| I know it is hard sometimes but when I give up, oh no |
| Matches lane, Hundreds Lane, Plain Land, White hall |
| Grand Spell, Nah Wood, Back Bush, Spanish Town |
| Don’t you give up |
| Gonna be free like a bird in the sky |
| Gonna be free, gonna fly so high |
| Gonna be free, gonna free my mind |
| Gonna be free, gonna fly so high |
| One thing I know is that I must survive |
| One thing I know is that I must rise |
| Rise |
| Every day I rise on a prayer |
| That’s all I got to take me through |
| I know one day I must and I will |
| Free myself from everything that holds me captive |
| Gonna be free like a bird in the sky |
| Gonna be free, gonna fly so high |
| Gonna be free, gonna free my mind |
| Gonna be free, gonna fly so high |
