[male vocals] Oh,
Abonnema,
my
sweet
home
Jah
bless
the
rhythm
in
your
streets
Yeah,
one
love,
listen
now
The
sun
is
setting
on
the
water
side
I
see
the
people
gathering
with
nothing
to
hide
Abonnema,
you’
re
the
jewel
in
the
light
Everything
feels
so
warm
and
so
right
Watching
the
masquarade
dance
in
the
square
There’
s
magic
floating
in
the
humid
air
From
the
funfair
lights
to
the
swamp
party
breeze
You
bring
my
restless
heart
to
its
knees
Abonnema,
my
heart
beats
for
you
With
every
liberation
song
that
rings
true
In
the
crowd,
in
the
joy,
in
the
love
we
share
There’
s
no
other
place
that
could
ever
compare
Oh,
Abonnema,
you’
re
the
rhythm
I
know
Watching
our
community
spirit
just
grow
Yeah,
you’
re
the
one
that
I
choose
to
adore
My
Abonnema,
forever
and
more
Do
you
remember
the
nights
by
the
quay?
Where
the
music
is
sweet
and
the
spirit
is
free
We
celebrate
liberation
with
a
fire
so
bright
Walking
hand
in
hand
through
the
velvet
night
No
sorrow
can
touch
us,
no
shadow
can
stay
When
the
drums
call
us
out
to
come
out
and
play
The
laughter,
the
stories,
the
unity
deep
Promises
made
that
we’
re
destined
to
keep
Abonnema,
my
heart
beats
for
you
Abonnema,
my
heart
beats
for
you
With
every
liberation
song
that
rings

in
the
joy,

the
love
we
share

and

Rise
up,
my
people,
feel
the
energy
rise
I
see
the
history
reflected
in
your
eyes
From
the
masquerade
steps
to
the
shoreline
song
This
is
the
place
where
my
soul
belongs
Yeah,
one
love,
steady
now
So
let
the
funfair
spin,
let
the
music
play
on
We’
ll
dance
until
the
stars
fade
into
the
dawn
My
love
for
this
place,
it’
s
a
flame
that
won’
t
die
Under
the
beautiful,
wide,
open
sky
Every
face
in
the
street
is
a
family
vine
I’
m
so
blessed
to
call
this
corner
mine
Abonnema,
you
shine
like
gold
in
the
sun
Our
story
has
only
just
begun
Abonnema,
my
heart
beats
for
you
With
every
liberation
song
that
rings
true
In
the
crowd,
