[Verse 1]
Mi did a sleep weh di train dem hum
Mama coat a mi likkle sun
Letter dem fold up inna coffee tin
Dem seh, “Come back home,” but mi never did

[Verse 2]
Mi watch di smoke turn inna years
Chase one light through di hollow fears
Hold di silence like one blade
Write mi truth, den mek dem fade

[Chorus]
But mi alright now, mi alright now
Got some roots inna di river ground
Pages inna di rain, dem teach mi how—
How fi bruk, and still get found

[Verse 3]
Mi see di stars pon di motel roof
Hear har laugh inna dream, like proof
Hold mi breath when di days run long
Take one hit just fi feel less wrong

[Chorus]
But mi alright now, mi alright now
Got some roots inna di river ground
Pages inna di rain, dem teach mi how—
How fi bruk, and still get found

[Instrumental – Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
If yuh find dis book someday
Read it slow, nuh look away
A just one bwoy weh lose him way
And learn fi live one next day

[Outro]
Mi alright now…
Pages inna di rain…
Mi alright now
