Lyrics
[Intro – Piano, Strings, Distant Choir] Hmmmm... One day di words dem ah go change... Years dem ah go pass... Places dem ah go shift... But wah still deh yah Ah di love weh we gi... An di life weh we touch. [Verse 1] Mi cyan move mountain again, Mi cyan change di sky, Mi cyan put mi name weh Big man dem lay. But if mi help di needy, If mi wake up dream fi walk, If mi bring hope Inna di darkest night, Den mi life nah go waste. [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause one likkle light Push weh di dark, An one small kindness Leave a mark weh nah fade. [Chorus] 🌍 Mi did deh yah... Nah fi di memory, But fi remember others. Mi did deh yah... Nah fi di high place, But fi lift up others. When di world shine bright When mi journey done, Den dat enough fi mi. Mi did deh yah. [Verse 2] Some build wid words, Some build wid hands, Some teach di youth, Some lift up di man. Some heal di broken spirit, Some calm di weary mind, Some leave treasure, Some leave love behind. An it's love alone Dat last long time. [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause heart remember Wah eyes might lose, An good deeds dem Guide di path weh others choose. [Chorus] 🌍 Mi did deh yah... Nah fi di memory, But fi remember others. Mi did deh yah... Nah fi di high place, But fi lift up others. When di world shine bright When mi journey done, Den dat enough fi mi. Mi did deh yah. [Bridge – Choir Rising] When di final chapter open, When di last song sing, Di measure of mi life Nah wah mi coulda hold, But wah mi did give. Nah di friends mi gather, But di ones mi help find a way. Nah di wealth mi collect, But di hope mi leave behind. 'Cause every soul write A story inna another's life. [Final Chorus – Full Choir] 🌍 Mi did deh yah... Mi love wid all mi heart. Mi give wid mi whole soul. Mi dream wid courage. Mi stand wid grace. Mi did deh yah... An inna tomorrow Mi part still deh yah. Inna di laughter mi help create. Inna di burden mi help fi bear. Inna di dream mi wake again. Inna di life mi help change. 🌍 An when di world shine bright 'Cause mi pass dis way, Den dat enough fi mi. Mi did deh yah. [Outro – Choir & Piano Fade] One life... One time... One beautiful work... To leave di world Better dan how we find it. Hmmmm... Mi did deh yah...
