[Verse 1]
Hey brother‑man, sister‑gal, feel that sunrise kissin’ the bay,
From Limón’s cool breeze to the purple peaks o’ Monteverde—
This land’s a heartbeat drum, Costa Rica standin’ tall,
A garden made of stardust, we the stewards of it all.

[Pre‑Chorus]
Clap your hands with the river, stomp your feet in the sand,
Roots dig deep like our ancestry, love’s the law of the land.

[Chorus]
We say “Pura Vida rising,” hearts like blazing dawn,
Hope is in our laughter, every dusk a brand‑new song.
No chains can hold the spirit when the jungle starts to sing—
Lift your voice, mi gente, feel the freedom in the wind!

[Verse 2]
Sip a chilled cacao and mango under giant ceiba shade,
City lights of San José hum a future we ain’t afraid—
A dream of green horizons, tech and wisdom intertwined,
We grow the seeds of mañana while the colibrí keeps time.

[Bridge (call‑and‑response)]
Call: “Who we be?”  —  Response: “Costa Rica, wild and free!”
Call: “What we bring?” —  Response: “Soulful grace and unity!”
Call: “Why we sing?”   —  Response: “Keep the faith in you and me!”
Then everybody holler: “¡Pura vida pa’ siempre, sí!”

[Breakdown (spoken‑word over marimba)]
Listen, mi gente…
The mountains teach patience, the ocean teaches flow,
When we share what little we got, abundance starts to grow.
So plant kindness like guayaba seeds, let the forest testify—
‘Cause every heart that beats for justice makes the thunder in the sky.

[(Return to Chorus x2, big harmony outro)]

[Chorus]
We say “Pura Vida rising,” hearts like blazing dawn,
Hope is in our laughter, every dusk a brand‑new song.
No chains can hold the spirit when the jungle starts to sing—
Lift your voice, mi gente, feel the freedom in the wind!

[Chorus]
We say “Pura Vida rising,” hearts like blazing dawn,
Hope is in our laughter, every dusk a brand‑new song.
No chains can hold the spirit when the jungle starts to sing—
Lift your voice, mi gente, feel the freedom in the wind!
