Cemi’s Whisper (Rise and Shine)

Verse 1:
When the city lights dim your inner glow
And the weight of the world’s got you feeling low
Listen close to the whisper of the cemi stone
Ancient wisdom reminding you’re never alone

Chorus:
Rise and shine like the Taíno sun
Your journey’s only just begun
Let the spirit of our ancestors guide your way
Cemi’s whisper turns night into day

Verse 2:
Feel the strength of the ceiba in your spine
Stand tall, reach high, it’s your time to shine
Like the coquí’s song after the rain
Your voice has power, don’t let it wane

(Chorus)

Bridge:
In your veins flows the courage of Hatuey
In your heart beats the rhythm of Borikén
Every step you take is on sacred ground
Let the spirits lift you when you’re feeling down

Verse 3:
When doubt creeps in like the evening tide
Remember the cohoba, open your mind’s eye
See the path that your ancestors walked before
Their resilience lives in you, to your very core
