Rise Up and Shine

[Intro] (Instrumental fade-in with bassline and skanking guitar, female backing vocalists humming softly) [Verse 1] In a world so quick to divide, yeah See the trouble, nowhere to hide, no But the rhythm callin' out to me Set my spirit, set my soul free From the concrete jungle's squeeze Findin' comfort in the gentle breeze [Chorus] Oh, we gonna rise up, rise up and shine Leave the heavy burdens all behind With the bassline deep and the guitar skankin' low Let the good vibes flow, let the good vibes grow (Female harmonies echo: "Good vibes grow...") [Verse 2] Seen the system try to hold us down Keep the people scattered all around But the truth is written in the sand Jah love for every woman, every man From the mountains to the ocean wide Unity's the only way to ride [Chorus] Oh, we gonna rise up, rise up and shine Leave the heavy burdens all behind With the bassline deep and the guitar skankin' low Let the good vibes flow, let the good vibes grow (Female harmonies: "Good vibes flow...") [Bridge] No time for tears, no time for fear Just open up your heart and lend an ear To the message from the roots and tree Standin' strong, eternally [Instrumental Break] (Skanking guitar solo, bassline throb, drum fills) [Chorus] Oh, we gonna rise up, rise up and shine Leave the heavy burdens all behind With the bassline deep and the guitar skankin' low Let the good vibes flow, let the good vibes grow (Female harmonies: "Let it grow...") [Outro] Rise up, sing along now Let your spirit strong now (Female ad-libs: "Yeah, good vibes, good vibes...") (Instrumental fade-out with echoing harmonies)
