Lyrics
[Intro – Piano, Strings, Distant Choir] Hmmmm... Wi come like breeze... A heartbeat... Miracle we cya explain... And one day... Wi gone... Jus' so mysteriously. But maybe... Wi neva truly gone at all. [Verse 1] Wi come inna di world wid open eyes, Nuh know weh di road a guh lead. Wi learn fi love, Wi learn fi dream, Wi learn di beauty life a reveal. Wi gather moments, Gather laughter, Gather stories fi wi share. But none a wi can hold forever Di tings we tink we own. [Pre-Chorus] Di riva keep flowin', Seasons come an' go, But love leave marks everywhere, Long after wi let it go. [Chorus] 🌍 Wi live... Den wi gone... But love remain behind. Like sunlight pon di wata, Like memories in di mind. Wi live... Den wi gone... Yet nuttn loved nuh lost. Every heart wi touch wid kindness Carry part a wi cross. [Verse 2] Some leave early, Some stay longer, Some journeys feel too short. An' every soul know di sorrow Of immeasurable grief. A modda's tears, A fadda's silence, An empty chair, A missing voice. Di pain remind wi how deep Wi once rejoice. [Pre-Chorus] Caw di depth a every goodbye Show di depth a every hello. An' every ending teach wi How beautiful it was to know. [Chorus] 🌍 Wi live... Den wi gone... But love remain behind. Like starlight crossin' darkness, Like songs dat outlive time. Wi live... Den wi gone... Yet nuttn loved nuh lost. Every heart wi touch wid kindness Carry part a wi cross. [Bridge] Maybe life an' death nuh enemies. Maybe dem a two pages In di same eternal story. One teach wi how fi arrive. Di adda teach wi how fi let go. An' between dem... Wi get di chance Fi love. Fi build. Fi forgive. Fi become. Fi leave di world Jus' a likkle brighter dan wi find it. [Final Chorus] 🌍 Wi live... Den wi gone... But love remain behind. Like a candle lightin' candles, Widout losin' its own light. Wi live... Den wi gone... Yet nuttn loved nuh lost. Every smile wi give anadda, Every burden dat wi cross. Every dream wi help awaken, Every hand wi hold strong. Live beyond di edge a leavin'... An' carry wi along. [Outro – Choir & Piano Fade] One day... Sumbody a call wi name. Sumbody a remember wi laugh. Sumbody a tell wi story. An' somewhere... In a life wi touch... A part a wi still a live. Caw love neva learn fi dead. Hmmmm...
