about

A song about Puerto Rico, where my abuela and abuelo grew up.

lyrics

I want to wake up on an island
With a thousand ivory beaches
And a majesty that reaches
To the verdant jungle highland
I want to wake up with a smile and
Hear the waves out on the sea
And the song of the coquí
It’s beauty cannot be outdone
It is the land of sea and sun
That is where I long to be

I want to wake up with the sunrise
Feel the sand between my toes
And the salt air in my nose
As the golden rays fill my eyes
Let my dreams be actualized
Iguanaboína hear my plea
Take me far across the sea
Until I land in Old San Juan
In the land of sea and sun
That is where I long to be

I want to wake in the rainforest
I want to climb the highest pico
And look down on Puerto Rico
Take in the view that lies before us
I want to hear the jungle chorus
Hear the parrots in the trees
As they sing their song for me
I’ll listen til the day is done
In the land of sea and sun
That is where I long to be

I want to wake up under starlight
Hear the singing of ponceñas
And the music of la plena
Let the bembé last the whole night
I wish to be there with all my might
In that city by the sea
In the arms of family
If there’s an equal I’ve found none
It is the land of sea and sun
That is where I long to be
