It’s Not Your Fault

Woii... rub-a-dub inna di mornin’ light...

Mi hear yuh pain, mi feel yuh fight...

But love, listen now — it’s not your fault...

Mi see yuh sittin’ quiet by di window pane

Cup a tea inna hand, watchin’ di rain

Dem thoughts a storm inna yuh brain

But nah worry, yuh not insane

Jah know di tears yuh hide

But di river inside still wide

Yuh heart still beat, it nah stop

Even when tings feel like too much

Yuh try fi smile, yuh do yuh best

Wash di clothes, clean up di mess

But stress creep inna yuh chest

Mi tell yuh now, tek a likkle rest

Yuh worth more dan yuh believe

Mi see di love yuh freely give

Dis life full a twist an’ turn

But it’s not you who need fi burn

It’s not your fault, mi darling, no way

Even di strongest soul need a break some day

It’s not your fault, no need fi shame

Pain nah define yuh, yuh not di blame

yuh not di blame

(Echo: Not di blame... not di blame...)

Woii... rub-a-dub inna soul vibration

Ease di burden, release di tension...

Mi see how yuh give light to others

Yuh lift up yute, help old mothers

Still yuh cry inna yuh own dark covers

But love, yuh heart full up like rivers

Mi wish yuh see how much yuh shine

Even when yuh feel behind

Every likkle act of care

Show di world yuh always there

So breathe in deep, let di pain float out

Dis reggae riddim know what it’s about

A likkle dub, a likkle sound

Help yuh find solid ground

It’s not your fault, yuh walk wid grace

Through di fire, still hold yuh space

It’s not your fault, nah lose yuh pace

Jah see yuh soul, full a love an’ faith

Yuh nuh alone, mi deh yah wid yuh

Mi voice, di riddim, di breeze too

It’s not your fault...

Mi seh... it’s not your fault...

And that’s... wonderful...
