Lift it Higher

Verse 1

Wake up to the rhythm of a brand-new day,

Sun in my face sayin’ “love’s the way.”

World moves fast, yeah, I’ve seen the rush,

Egos get loud, tempers combust.

But I’ve learned there’s power in a softer sound,

A smile, a wave, helpin’ someone down.

You don’t gotta win every little fight,

Sometimes the victory’s doin’ what’s right.

Pre-Chorus

Hands open wide, let the heavy stuff go,

Every seed of love gonna surely grow.

When the noise gets loud and the road feels rough,

I turn it up and lift it up.

Chorus

So I choose love, yeah, every time,

Let the good vibes lead my mind.

I choose purpose over chasin’ the crown,

Buildin’ somethin’ real that won’t burn down.

No hate in my step, no weight in my soul,

Kindness steady like a one-drop roll.

Sing it loud, let the whole world see—

This life feels better when we live kindly.

Verse 2

I’ve seen cold words break a fragile heart,

Seen small acts spark a brand-new start.

Every little choice is a reggae beat,

What you send out always finds your street.

I don’t need more just to feel complete,

Got enough joy when my love runs free.

If the road gets long, I don’t lose my way,

Purpose keeps dancin’ in what I say.

Pre-Chorus

Slow it down, yeah, feel that groove,

Every step forward’s a conscious move.

When the clouds roll in, I still trust—

Love’s the fire that’s carryin’ us.

Chorus

So I choose love, yeah, every time,

Let the good vibes lead my mind.

I choose purpose over chasin’ the crown,

Buildin’ somethin’ real that won’t burn down.

No hate in my step, no weight in my soul,

Kindness steady like a one-drop roll.

Sing it loud, let the whole world see—

This life feels better when we live kindly.

Bridge

Whoa—let the rhythm teach us how to stay,

Soft in the heart but strong in the way.

Whoa—every neighbor, every land,

Same sun risin’, same grain of sand.

(instrumental skank / horns hit)

Final Chorus

Yeah, I choose love, yeah, every time,

Raise it up, let it shine.

I choose purpose over empty chase,

Smilin’ wide with an easy pace.

From the break of dawn till the stars at night,

I’m walkin’ steady in a better light.

Hands to the sky, feet on the beat—

This is the joy when kindness leads.

Outro

(half-sung, joyful)

No rush… no fight…

Just love done right
