Deep Current

[Verse 1]
Mackerel moon hanging high, a silent witness to your plea.
But my heart, it charted currents, long before you learned to swim.
Saw the way your promise shifted, like the sea foam on the sand,
Felt the undertow beneath the surface, hidden from your hand.

[Chorus]
Mi know di undertow, mi feel di silent shiftin' sand.
This deep current runnin' through me, ain't no soft heart you command.

[Verse 2]
Remember how the elder spoke, of strength like lignum vitae deep?
That quiet observation, the sacred vows I keep.
Bush tea steam a-rise, cool the fire in my soul,
But the wisdom of the full moon says, your empty words take their toll.

[Chorus]
Mi know di undertow, mi feel di silent shiftin' sand.
This deep current runnin' through me, ain't no soft heart you command.

[Bridge]
No fragile seashell on the shore, to be washed up and tossed.
I'm the lighthouse on the reef, my luminescence never lost.

[Outro]
Deep current, runnin' true.
Moon still watchin' over you.
