Story behind the song
An homage to the great pioneers — the chord progression nods to Studio One classics from the 70s, but the production deliberately keeps the low end modern. We wanted listeners to feel the lineage without it sounding retro.

[Verse 1] Morning light come breaking through the trees Another day, another song to sing My people stand up, won't you stand with me Freedom's coming, can you feel the swing [Chorus] Up, up, won't you rise with me Up, up, can't you see the sea Up, up, this is our time Unity in every line [Verse 2] Walk the road that all the elders walked before Take the wisdom but write your own song now Every generation got to find its door And kick it open with the truth somehow
