In the hush of the river, I hear them breathe…
In the dark of the cypress, they call to me…
Blood in the water, fire in the reeds…
Walk soft… walk safe… walk free…


My mother showed me where the river bends,
Where the footprints fade and the forest defends.
Step‑light, breathe‑slow, follow where the winds go,
Hide‑path, night‑mask, move where the roots grow.
She said the land remembers every child it saves,
Every quiet footfall, every hidden grave.

My father carried rhythm like a warning in his chest,
Every beat a message, every step a test.
Run‑when‑the‑moon‑drops, hide‑when‑the‑branch‑pops,
Signal‑in‑the‑drum‑talk, freedom in the foot‑walk.


I’m the Maroon Daughter; born of fire, born of water,
Raised by the hidden roads carved through the dark.
I carry their names in the beat of my heart.
Daughter of the drum!
Daughter of the land!


We walked where the moonlight couldn’t find our skin,
Where the marsh held secrets only blood could defend.
Mud‑track, smoke‑stack, whisper where the guards pass,
Torch‑glow, low‑row, paddle through the tall grass.
Two nations breathing as one in the night,
Two fires merging into one shared light.

Their courage is the echo running deep in my bones.
Fight‑for‑the‑runaways, guard‑all‑the‑hidden‑zones,
Stand‑when‑the‑storm‑breaks, rise‑when‑the‑earth‑shakes,
I am the daughter of the ones no chain could take.


I’m the Maroon Daughter; born of fire, born of water,
Raised by the hidden roads carved through the dark.
I carry their names in the beat of my heart.
Daughter of the drum!
Daughter of the land!


They hunted us… but we learned to disappear.
They chained us… but we shattered every fear.
Blood‑line, drum‑line, meeting in the tree‑line,
Fire‑light, night‑fight, building us a new tribe.
We became a nation in the shadows of the pines,
A home for the lost, a shield for the defiant.


I’m the Maroon Daughter, I rise where they survived,
I walk with the warriors who kept our blood alive.
I carry the village in the sound of my cry.
Daughter of the drum!
Daughter of the land!
Daughter of the ones who refused to bow down!

I’m the Maroon Daughter

I’m the Maroon Daughter

I’m the Maroon Daughter

I’m the Maroon Daughter

In the hush of the river… I hear them…
In the beat of my heart… I become them…
Walk soft… walk safe… walk free…
