[Jamaican Patois] When We're Gone

Lyrics

[Intro – Soft piano + distant choir]  
Hmmmm…  
Ohhh…  
Wi deh yah fi just a moment…  
Wha wi a go leave behind…  

[Verse 1]  
Wi a walk dis road together, though di days dem passin' by,  
Just a heartbeat inna forever, just a song beneath di sky.  
All di tings wi hold so tight, all wi think wi own,  
Dem fade inna silence — but love live on.  

Did wi lift a weary heart?  
Did wi help someone fi stand?  
Did wi give a likkle more?  
Did wi reach wid open hand?  

[Pre-Chorus]  
Inna di end it’s not di gold,  
Not di power weh wi hold,  
It’s di lives wi touch along di way…  

[Chorus / Hook – UNIVERSAL ANTHEM]  
🌍 When wi gone — wha wi leave?  
Love wi give or silent grief?  
Every heart, every life wi know —  
A di world wi leave when wi gone.  

🌍 When wi gone — dem a rise?  
Stronger hearts and open eyes?  
Every soul wi help become —  
A di future when wi gone.  

👉 (Soft Echo Layer)  
When wi gone… when wi gone…  

[Verse 2]  
Dis world wi share is fragile, but it’s beautiful and bright,  
Every act of kindness bring another spark of light.  
No one walk alone if wi choose fi see,  
Yuh life and mine a one story.  

Teach di yute beside yuh,  
Show dem how fi care,  
Give dem more dan knowledge —  
Give dem hope fi share.  

[Pre-Chorus]  
Wha wi plant in human heart,  
Outlive all wi are,  
Echo long beyond wi days…  

[Chorus / Hook – BIGGER LIFT]  
🌍 When wi gone — wha wi leave?  
Love wi give or silent grief?  
Every heart, every life wi know —  
A di world wi leave when wi gone.  

🌍 When wi gone — dem a rise?  
Stronger hearts and open eyes?  
Every soul wi help become —  
A di future when wi gone.  

👉 (Choir Layer)  
Rise… rise… dem a rise…  

[Bridge – Choir + Global Voices]  
(Soft → Massive Build)  
Ohhh…  

Wi a di bridge from now to forever…  

Raise yuh voice — fi dem to come,  
Every daughter, every son.  
Wha wi give become dem way,  
Wi shape tomorrow today.  

No more fear, no more divide,  
Wi a one — wi rise as one.  

[Final Chorus / Outro – FULL HUMAN ANTHEM]  
🌍 When wi gone — wha wi leave?  
Love wi give or silent grief?  
Every heart, every life wi know —  
A di world wi leave when wi gone.  

🌍 When wi gone — dem a rise,  
Wid wi hope inna dem eyes.  
Every soul wi help become —  
A di future when wi gone.  

👉 (Final Choir Chant)  
Wi a one… wi a one…  

[Outro – Whisper + Piano Fade]  
Wi deh yah only fi…
