[Jamaican Patois] The Light You Leave

Lyrics

[Intro – Soft Piano & Strings]

Hmmmm...

Some people pass through dis ya world...

And leave dem mark.

Some leave memories.

Some leave dreams.

But you...

You leave light.

[Verse 1]

Mi watch yuh journey through di years,
Di laughter an di tears,
Di mountains weh yuh climb,
Di courage weh yuh find.

An through every season of yuh life,
One truth always stay di same,
Wherever yuh go,
Yuh mek di world shine brighter dan before.

Yuh fill mi life wid wonder,
Yuh fill mi heart wid pride,
An every step weh yuh tek
A joy fi walk beside.

Not cause a weh yuh do,
Not cause a weh yuh achieve,
But cause a who yuh be,
An di kindness weh yuh leave.

[Pre-Chorus]

Some people leave a footprint,
Some leave a memory behind,

But yuh leave light wherever yuh go,
An kindness in every life.

[Chorus]

🌍 Yuh a di light yuh leave in di world,
A gift no measure can define.

In every heart yuh help fi heal,
A likkle part a yuh will shine.

Wherever life may lead yuh,
Whatever dreams yuh choose fi chase,

Neva forget how beautiful yuh are,
An di light no one else can replace.

[Verse 2]

Mi watch yuh grow in wisdom,
Mi watch yuh grow in grace,
Findin strength through every challenge,
Findin beauty in yuh faith.

Di world might measure riches
By titles, fame, or gold,

But mi learn di greatest treasure
Is a loving heart an soul.

An yours always carry
A beauty deeper than di eye can see,

Fi di way yuh lift another
Is di person yuh meant fi be.

Yuh have a way fi give hope
Without even knowin yuh do,

An di lives yuh touch already
A just di start a what yuh'll do.

[Pre-Chorus]

Di gifts we give to others,
Become di legacy we leave,

An every life yuh touch wid love
Create a future dem believe.

[Chorus]

🌍 Yuh a di light yuh leave in di world,
A gift no measure can define.

In every heart yuh help fi heal,
A likkle part a yuh will shine.

Wherever life may lead yuh,
Whatever dreams yuh choose fi chase,

Neva forget how beautiful yuh are,
An di light no one else can replace.

[Bridge]

One day mi voice might fade,
An dese hands might no longer hold yours.

But whenever yuh lift another heart,
Whenever yuh help someone believe again,

Whenever yuh bring kindness where was pain,
Whenever yuh choose love over fear,

Mi will still deh yah.

Cause dat is where mi always live.

Inside di love we give away.

Raise yuh voice,
Lift yuh dreams,
Lift di ones beside yuh.

Let dem see what yuh see.

No life without meaning.
No soul without worth.

Di greatest wealth a all
Is di goodness we leave pon Earth.

[Final Chorus]

🌍 Yuh a di light yuh leave in di world,
A gift no measure can define.

In every heart yuh help fi heal,
A likkle part a yuh will shine.

May yuh days full a purpose,
May yuh faith stay strong an true,

An may yuh always know, mi daughter,
How proud mi is a yuh.

🌍 Yuh a di light...
Yuh a di hope...
Yuh a di kindness...
Yuh a di dream...

An di world brighter cause yuh deh yah.

An better cause yuh grow.

An more beautiful cause a di light yuh leave.

[Outro – Piano & Choir Fade]

Hmmmm...

Pass it on...

Pass di light on...

An wherever life may tek yuh,

Neva forget...

One a life's most beautiful gifts.
