I carried the weight, heavy in my soul

Sleepless nights, nuff things Jah alone know

They say "forgive", like a word can cleanse

Like chant one prayer and the suffering end

But some page get tear, cant turn again

Some bridge never fi cross, they're a lesson learned

Me try heal the wound, called the scar a lie

But truth light a fire through my eye

Instead of beg Jah for the storm fi stop

Jah teach I fi move steady and dance through the raindrops.

So I keep the record of pain endured

A the refining fire which make I spirit sure

I closure never come from mouth or speech

It come the day I step away and inner peace reach.

I an I nah forgive, I and I never forget

Me take the broken stone them, and build Zion step by step

The past jus a shadow now, it fall behind my tread

And look pon I now, truthfully, me thank Jah for the rain

Cause it teach I how to build shelter from pain

They say nothing happen before Jah time… well now Jah time manifest.

The one I had to be, its only now I overstand

The blessing them a flow now, straight from Rastafari hand

Nah send no soul down that suffering road

Nah trade the journey which refine my code

Pain a silent teacher, write scripture in a bone

Now the chant what I sing come from healed-overtones

Every victory sweeter, every morning brand new

Cause I walk through midnight till morning dew.

I an I nah forgive, I and I never forget

Me take the broken stone them, and build Zion step by step

The past jus a shadow now, it fall behind my tread

And look pon I now, truthfully, me thank Jah for the rain

Cause it teach I how to build shelter from pain

They say nothing happen before Jah time… well now Jah time manifest.

Before Jah time

My hand neva firm fi the crown

Before Jah time

Me have to crumble for the sound be found

Now the heartbeat of my life, beat to a higher drum

Not cause I let go, but cause I stand firm, grounded and strong

And I trust in I at last

Nah forget forgiveness not forced
