Swingin’ in di Trees
(Jamaican Style with Tags)
[Soft Female Narrator]
[Reggae Guitar – offbeat skank]
[Steel Drums – sweet melody]
[Laid-back Reggae Beat]
[Light Bass]
Swingin’ in di trees, high up in di breeze,
Cradle wrapped in leather, rockin’ so at ease.
Mama stitch it gentle, soft and warm and neat,
Baby dreamin’ sweetly, reggae in di beat.
Mama keep a watch, love in her eyes,
Baby smile bright, under blue sky.
No bugs, no heat, no wild tings near,
Nature’s own cradle, safe and clear.
[Steel Drums – playful riff]
[Reggae Guitar – bright strum]
Leaves dem a-dance, sunlight all around,
Butterflies flutter, no worries found.
Sun on yuh cheek, stars in di night,
Cradled by branches, holdin’ yuh tight.
Mama start singin’, voice soft and low,
Lullaby driftin’ as cool breezes blow:
“Rock-a-bye baby, up in di tree,
When di wind blow, di cradle swing free.”
[Laid-back Reggae Beat]
[Steel Drums – mellow fill]
“If di branch bend, and cradle come down,
Baby soon stand up, feet on di ground.”
Song say yuh growin’, strong like a tree,
One day yuh walkin’, wild and free.
Let go so easy, just like di tide,
Love is di cradle, always by yuh side.
Swingin’ in di trees, reggae in yuh soul,
Little feet dancin’, heart feelin’ whole.
[Reggae Guitar – melodic run]
[Steel Drums – island groove]
Birds dem a-singin’, sunlight in yuh hair,
Laughter in di treetops, music everywhere.
Hearts full of wonder, dreams on di breeze,
Growin’ up gentle, swingin’ in di trees.
Every new mornin’ bring story to share,
Love in di branches, hope in di air.
Safe in dis cradle, wild and free,
Swingin’ in di trees, where yuh meant to be.
[Chorus – Repeat as desired]
Swingin’ in di trees, high up in di breeze,
Life is a riddim, love is di key.
Reggae in yuh heartbeat, sun in yuh hair,
Swingin’ in di trees, yuh safe up dere.
