[Intro]
Mi was gray, mi soul gone still
Like no sun fi warm di hill…
Mi cry to Jah through di haze —
And di light come blaze
---
[Verse 1]
I was gray like ashes of day
Heart cold, faith fade away
No song inna mi chest
Just silence where love used to rest
Smell of dust, taste of rain
Mi beg Jah tek mi pain
---
[Build-Up]
Then a hum start deep inside
Like thunder before di tide
Mi feel di wave of gold arise —
And mi open mi eyes…
---
[Chorus]
Jah light fill me up! Holy vibration rise!
Hands to di sky, tears turn to life!
Jah light fill me up! See mi spirit shine
From gray to gold — mi soul divine!
---
[Verse 2]
Now mi dance barefoot pon di ground
Every heartbeat a holy sound
Taste di salt, smell di bloom
Sunlight chase away di gloom
Mi laugh again, mi sing again
Life sweet like sugarcane
---
[Bridge]
Lead: “Who lift di weight?”
Crowd: “Jah light, Jah great!”
Lead: “Who paint di gray?”
Crowd: “Jah light today!”
---
[Final Chorus]
Jah light fill me up! Glory rise again!
Breath of love blow through every man
Mi was gray — now mi bright, mi free
Jah light fill di world through me!
---
[Outro]
