Letra
[Verse 1]
Born on islands kissed by sea
Turquoise tides ran wild and free
Tin roof songs in the evening rain
Bare feet
Red dirt
And sugarcane
Father’s hands
Rough and sure
Mother’s prayers to help endure
Empty pockets
Crowded room
But every dream had space to bloom
[Chorus]
From tin roofs to the world
I rise
Fiji sun still in my eyes
Carry every humble day with me
From the dorm beds and the dusty fields
To a life I never dreamed I’d feel
From these islands
I became who I would be
[Verse 2]
Boarding boy with a heavy trunk
Name stitched tight on a piece of junk
In RKS through the joy and strain
Lonely nights calling home by name
In Londoni’s halls I learned to stand
Books and bruises
Calloused hands
Hungry heart at the study light
Chasing futures through the sleepless nights
[Chorus]
From tin roofs to the world
I rise
Fiji sun still in my eyes
Carry every humble day with me
From the dorm beds and the dusty fields
To a life I never dreamed I’d feel
From these islands
I became who I would be
[Bridge]
I still hear the rain on our old roof
Every drop a drum for living proof
That a child of rust and reef and rain
Can walk the world and say their name (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
From tin roofs to the world
I rise
Fiji sun still in my eyes
Carry every humble day with me
From the dorm beds and the dusty fields
To a life I never dreamed I’d feel
From these islands
I became who I would be
Born on islands kissed by sea
Turquoise tides ran wild and free
Tin roof songs in the evening rain
Bare feet
Red dirt
And sugarcane
Father’s hands
Rough and sure
Mother’s prayers to help endure
Empty pockets
Crowded room
But every dream had space to bloom
[Chorus]
From tin roofs to the world
I rise
Fiji sun still in my eyes
Carry every humble day with me
From the dorm beds and the dusty fields
To a life I never dreamed I’d feel
From these islands
I became who I would be
[Verse 2]
Boarding boy with a heavy trunk
Name stitched tight on a piece of junk
In RKS through the joy and strain
Lonely nights calling home by name
In Londoni’s halls I learned to stand
Books and bruises
Calloused hands
Hungry heart at the study light
Chasing futures through the sleepless nights
[Chorus]
From tin roofs to the world
I rise
Fiji sun still in my eyes
Carry every humble day with me
From the dorm beds and the dusty fields
To a life I never dreamed I’d feel
From these islands
I became who I would be
[Bridge]
I still hear the rain on our old roof
Every drop a drum for living proof
That a child of rust and reef and rain
Can walk the world and say their name (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
From tin roofs to the world
I rise
Fiji sun still in my eyes
Carry every humble day with me
From the dorm beds and the dusty fields
To a life I never dreamed I’d feel
From these islands
I became who I would be
