Lyrics:
Verse 1
From the break of the dawn, working hard till the day is gone,
Every man, every woman, doing what needs to be done,
In the heart of Jamaica, where the rhythm is born,
Underneath a golden sky, painted by the setting sun.
Chorus
In Kingston, we dance as the sun goes down,
To the rhythm, we move as one, feeling the sound,
In the heart of the city where the reggae was found,
In Kingston, we dance while the sun goes down.
Verse 2
With every beat of the drum, feel the spirit begin to hum,
In every note that’s played, feel the unity come,
In the heart of Jamaica, where the rhythm is from,
Underneath a starry sky, dancing till the night is done.
Chorus
In Kingston, we dance as the sun goes down,
To the rhythm, we move as one, feeling the sound,
In the heart of the city where the reggae was found,
In Kingston, we dance while the sun goes down.
