[Trinidadian Creole] The Gift We Bring

Lyrics

[Intro]

Hmmmm...

Before de mountains call we name,  
Before de ocean start to hum,  

We get ah gift, ah fire flame...  
Now we pass it, it must come...

[Verse 1]

Some workin' with gentle hands,  
Some heal with heart so true,  
Some light up de shadowed lands,  
Some sparkin' what fresh and new.  

Some teachin' de young an' bright,  
Some comfort de old an' wise,  
Some holdin' a vision light,  
Worth more than gold in skies.  

Every life ah treasure chest,  
Every soul ah ember glowin',  
Paths may split but love's de rest,  
Wonder's what we keep knowin'.  

[Pre-Chorus]

Maybe we just passin' through,  
Maybe we not here to stay,  

But kindness leave a color true,  
Guidin' others on dey way.  

[Chorus]

🌍 We all bring ah gift to life,  
A light dat's ours to shine.  

Hope for tomorrow's rise,  
Reason for love's design.  

Hand in hand, we rise as one,  
Every heart got song to sing.  

De future breathe within we,  
We are de gifts we bring.  

[Verse 2]

A smile could start ah journey,  
A word could change de fate,  
Lessons shape tomorrow's story,  
A hand could end de hate.  

De smallest act of kindness,  
Can ripple far an' wide,  
Creatin' echoes endless,  
Long after we have died.  

Every dream now awaken,  
Every fear set free,  
Make de world a bit brighter,  
Fulfill humanity.  

[Pre-Chorus]

De seeds we plant in others,  
Grow beyond we sight,  

An' somewhere in tomorrow,  
Dey become another light.  

[Chorus]

🌍 We all bring ah gift to life,  
A light dat's ours to shine.  

Hope for tomorrow's rise,  
Reason for love's design.  

Hand in hand, we rise as one,  
Every heart got song to sing.  

De future breathe within we,  
We are de gifts we bring.  

[Bridge]

Raise yuh voice,  
Chase yuh dreams,  
Lift dem beside yuh,  
Let dem see what yuh see.  

No life without meanin',  
No soul without worth,  

De greatest wealth of all,  
Is de goodness left on Earth.  

[Final Chorus]

🌍 We all bring ah gift to life,  
A light dat's ours to shine.  

Hope for tomorrow's rise,  
Reason for love's design.  

Hand in hand, we rise as one,  
Every heart got song to sing.  

De future breathe within we,  
De future breathe within we,  
De future breathe within we...  
We are de gifts we bring.  

[Outro]

Hmmmm...

Pass it on...  
Pass de light on...
