Ancestor Song Lyrics

I know more than anyone

That anything is possible

I used to put my head down

Day by day

And let the time slip away

But now

Every morning

Fields of milk and honey spread before me

Everything I wish for comes to me

In a bright paradise where ancestors wait

All the spirits wrap around in the warmest embrace

Roots of the mango tree under my feet

And the island sun shines on me

I am the one

I am the one

The one they've been waiting for

This I know

Fields of milk and honey all around me

Everything I wish for comes to me

Here and now

Here we go

I walk in your footsteps

I don your crown

Come down the staircase

In a sapphire gown

Blue roses and vines cover the gate

That I open

To the garden where my ancestors wait

They shake the branches

And mangoes rain down

On kids in La Vega

Bare feet on the ground

They paint flamboyanes

Red, gold, and brown

In a bright paradise

Where all of us are safe and sound

I am the one

I am the one

I am the one they've been waiting for

This I know

This I know and all I can say is

Thank you

Thank you

All I can say is

Thank you

Thank you
