(Verse 1 - Laid-back reggae riddim, slight off-beat accent)
Yeh gotta learn fi forgive an' leggo di grudge,
Or yuh carry dat burden, no peace, just judge.
No matter if dem do yuh wrong, hear mi now,
Life short, cherish di time, make a vow.
Today a present, a gift from up above,
Tomorrow a blessin', filled with peace an' love.
So forgive an' forget, make dat decision true,
No regret inna yuh heart, feel di spirit renew.
(Chorus - Smooth reggae groove, wid backin' harmonies)
'Cause forgiveness, it nah a switch yuh flick so free,
A journey yuh embark on, through di thorny tree.
Di hurt might linger, like shadow inna di light,
But holdin' onto anger, only darkens yuh night.
(Verse 2 - Relaxed tempo, storytellin' vibe)
Dem seh time heal all wounds, but dat nah di whole truth,
Time just give yuh space, fi choose yuh righteous youth.
Gonna let bitterness take root, like weed inna di ground?
Nah, prune it back, mek yuh spirit strong an' sound.
(Chorus - More soulful, wid a swayin' riddim)
'Cause forgiveness, it nah a switch yuh flick so free,
A journey yuh embark on, through di thorny tree.
Di hurt might linger, like shadow inna di light,
But holdin' onto anger, only darkens yuh night.
(Bridge - Slightly slower, more reflective tone)
Forget nah 'bout eras'in' what dem did or seh,
A releas'in' di power, mek it fly away.
A choosin' peace over endless fight,
Steppin' outta darkness, walkin' into di light.
See, holdin' onto pain, like drinkin' poison slow,
Thinkin' di other one, a di one who's gonna go.
But di only one yuh hurtin', di one inna chain,
A yuh, bound by resentment, feelin' all di pain.
(Chorus - Uplifting and full of positive energy)
Yeah! Forgiveness, it nah a switch yuh flick so free,
A journey yuh embark on, through di thorny tree.
Di hurt might linger, like shadow inna di light,
But holdin' onto anger, only darkens yuh night.
(Outro - Fades out with a gentle reggae beat and vocal ad-libs)
Life a fleeting whisper, like breath pon di breeze,
Don't waste precious moments on anger dat won't appease.
Look 'round, feel di sun, hear di birds inna song,
Beauty inna dis world, whe' yuh truly belong.
Every sunrise a chance, fi start anew an' bold,
Fi leggo di stories, dat have grown too old.
Forgiveness a freedom, a key fi unlock di door,
To a future unburdened, whe' yuh can truly soar.
So choose fi forgive, nah fi dem, but fi yuh own sweet sake,
Mek di weight fall away, mek yuh weary spirit wake.
Embrace di present moment, dis precious, fleeting now,
An' leggo di past, show yuhself some grace somehow.
For inna dat act of lettin' go, a strength yuh will embrace,
A lightness inna yuh step, a smile pon yuh face.
Yuh'll find dat cherishing time, unburdened an' free,
A di greatest gift yuh give yuhself, fi all eternity.
