Lyrics
Before I take one step out mi yard
Expresses the speaker's intention to leave their home.
Watch over me (Watch over me)
A request for divine protection as the speaker steps out.
And no matter what come my way
Regardless of challenges, a plea to stay on the right path.
Do not let me stray
A request not to deviate from the desired path.
Watch over me, everyday
A recurring plea for ongoing divine guidance and protection.
Hear wah mi say
Reiteration of the speaker's request and affirmation.
Let love in my heart
Commitment to embrace love in the heart and take positive action.
Let it light my way
-Let love in my world
-And I'm gonna do my part
-I'm gonna let love in my heart
-I'm gonna let love in my heart
-Build a vibe let me meditate
Desire to create a positive atmosphere for meditation, caution against negative influences, and skepticism towards those who may not be sincere.
And Most High please nuh let dem penetrate
-Mek like dem ready fi guh elevate
-But when time come dem just a hesitate
-Like dem never really mean it
-Dem only want go hear themselves speak it
-Nuh know what some a dem a deal with
-Still if a me one just
-Let love in my heart
Reaffirmation of the commitment to let love into the heart and world.
Let it light my way
-Let love in my world
-And I'm gonna do my part
-I'm gonna let love in my heart
-I'm gonna let love in my heart
-And when I look at all the crying face
Observation of societal issues, disappointment in the lack of regulation, and criticism of celebratory attitudes toward negative events.
How dem coulda see it and nuh regulate
-How dem let it reach such a terrible state
-Come like everyday dem just a celebrate
-You could'a know just how me feel
Expression of strong emotions, including a desire for drastic action, but ultimately finding solace in the belief in a higher power.
Me want take a jug a gas and match and burn it down clean
-Never leave no trace pon de scene
-But me cool cause its just one Supreme
-Let love in my heart
Continued commitment to incorporating love in the speaker's life and actions.
Let it light my way
-Let love in my world
-And I'm gonna do my part
-I'm gonna let love in my heart
-I'm gonna let love in my heart
-And it nuh matter what comes
Emphasizes that external circumstances won't affect the commitment to love.
