[Intro] Empress rise like di first light of dawn, Guiding her children through life's storm. Wid strength and wisdom, she hold dem tight, Inna di struggle, she a di beacon of light.
[Verse 1] Inna di hills of Jamaica, where di sun a blaze, A mother sow her seeds inna humble ways. She raise dem up, through di drought and rain, Teaching dem fi face life's joy and pain. Wid every sunrise, she toil and fight, Her warmth a keep dem safe through di night. Though di world rough, she neva back down, Her faith in Jah, a wear di golden crown.
[Chorus] Passing through di fire, we rise and shine, With love and dignity, we walk di line. Lessons of Jah guide we through, Empress of strength, we never blue.

With Jah by her side, she smile and reminisce, Knowing her sacrifices bring forth di bliss. Her heart full a pride, see dem stand tall, Empress roots, she a di queen of all.
