Lyrics

[INTRO – Ancestral Whisper, Slow build | Ambient wind, distant flute, low choir hums | 0:00–0:30]

Whispered chant – layered male & female voices:
Ein… Ein… Ein…
You are not gone.
You are the ground I stand on,
The wind at my back,
The roar in my chest.

[Djembe heartbeat enters, soft pulsing. Steel pan rolls quietly.]

[VERSE 1 – Soulful Storytelling, Instrumentation: acoustic guitar, soft dub bass, light shakers]

Ten years passed, still your shadow walks with me,
Not as a ghost but as flame in my memory.
From scraped knees to scholarships,
You lifted me with silent strength.

You held my dreams like sacred things,
Wiped my tears with callused hands.
You didn’t just raise me you built me,
Brick by breath, smile by command.

[CHORUS – Spirit Soars, Full rhythm section enters: Afrobeat drums, steelpan stabs, marimba melody, vocal layering]

All Voices – Call & Response (Lead + Choir):
Ein, Ein, Ein…
Your name is my fire.
You carried my spirit across the wire.
Ein, Ein, Ein…
Your light still flows,
In every heartbeat, in every goal.

[Choir harmonies rise as strings swell]
From Bajan soil to distant stars,
You showed me I was never far…
From greatness.


[VERSE 2 – Foundation of Fire, Reggae guitar enters | Dub bass groove | Djembe stays steady]

Primary mornings, bag in hand,
You kissed my head, you helped me stand.
Secondary doubts, tertiary fight,
You told me: “The world bows to those who write their light.”

You never raised your voice,
But you raised the bar.
You taught me manhood,
Not by might — but by how you loved.


[BRIDGE – Ancestral Echo, Choral hums deepen | African flute glides | Strings swell]

I thank the ones who raised you well,
My grands, the fire inside your shell.
You walked with grace, with warrior calm,
You were the storm… with open arms.

I feel you in thunder,
In mango wind and market song.
You move through time, you live through me,
You are rhythm… you are legacy.


[VERSE 3 – He Knew Us]

[Music softens to guitar + flute + distant pad]

He knew us, every piece of who we are…
Like he’d seen our souls before we took form.
He didn’t just raise us — he saw us.
Believed in our fire before we even knew it was there.

He’d say:
“That one? She’s got my bold heart.”
“That one? He dreams like me — wild and far.”

He never asked us to be perfect,
Only to be real.
And we felt safe…
Because his love was the kind that wrapped ‘round you like a shield.


[FAMILY LEGACY REFLECTION – Spoken Word Interlude]

[Strings fade under voice | Rainstick swirls | Spoken, reverent tone]

He was his mother’s joy —
Gentle with her hands, strong with his devotion.
He loved his brother like a twin flame,
Always lifting, always present, never counting the cost.

And us?
We were his legacy in motion.
He was our home —
And still is.


[CHANT SECTION – Bajan-Zulu Ancestral Fire, Rhythm rebuilds: layered marimba, log drum, male and female chants]

Lead Vocal (melodic chant):
Einstein…
Ein…
Einstein…

You rise in our footsteps,
You dance in our blood.
Ein
