Текст песни
[Intro – reggae sway]
Mmm-hmm, yeah…
From village dust… to the city light…
I rise… I rise…
---
[Verse 1 – reggae storytelling]
I was born where the dust lifts slow,
In a village where only the heart can know
How a girl with a ten-kilometer dream
Walks the road with a quiet gleam.
Grandma’s hands, steady and strong,
Taught me how to stand when life felt wrong.
How firewood sings, how chores make you tough,
How small beginnings can be enough.
---
[Pre-Chorus – soft R&B lift]
Silence was my closest friend,
A place where thoughts could breathe again.
I learned to dream in hidden rooms,
To hold my hope through shadows and fumes.
---
[Chorus – big reggae energy]
From village dust to city light,
I rise, I rise — Jah carry me high tonight.
A girl who once fetched water deep
Now walks runways with a faith that speaks.
From humble roads to shining skies,
My spirit always knew I’d rise.
---
[Verse 2 – reggae groove with jazz phrasing]
School took me far, but not enough
To measure dreams made from stronger stuff.
God don’t judge by a single grade —
He weighs the heart and the steps we’ve made.
Then came the city whispering my name,
Opening doors like sparks of flame.
In mirrors I saw who I could be —
A woman rising, bold and free.
---
[Pre-Chorus – soulful, feminine]
My village eyes never knew this crown,
But my spirit wore it before I left town.
Every mile, every tear, every test
Shaped this woman — fearless, blessed.
---
[Chorus – reggae wave]
From village dust to city light,
I rise, I rise — Jah carry me high tonight.
A girl who once fetched water deep
Now walks runways with a faith that speaks.
From humble roads to shining skies,
My spirit always knew I’d rise.
---
[Bridge – jazzy spoken-sing]
He takes the smallest, quiet start
And writes it boldly on the heart.
A girl who walked through miles of heat
Now lifts her head with steady feet.
Confidence resting like a crown,
No force on earth can pull me down.
---
[Final Chorus – strong reggae uplift]
From village dust to city light,
I rise, I rise — still glowing bright.
Let the world make room for who I am,
A woman growing in God’s plan.
May every dream and every fight
Lift me higher into the light.
---
[Outro – soft reggae fade]
Ohh… I rise…
From the dust, into the light…
Yeah… I rise…
Mmm-hmm, yeah…
From village dust… to the city light…
I rise… I rise…
