[Intro: deep roots reggae groove, soft guitar skank, lonely ocean atmosphere] [Heavy reggae push, deep bass enters] No na na hey... No na na hey... [Soft tribal percussion begins] Mi wake beneath a sky of stone A thousand miles from di place mi call home These walls know every word mi say Dem hold mi dreams and steal mi days No na na hey... No na na hey... Mi walk di roads mi never choose Through empty rooms and shadows too Every door mi try fi find Always bring mi back inside mi mind [Pre-Chorus: rising drums, faster reggae phrasing, hopeful vocal lift] But somewhere beyond dis endless night A piece of mi still hold di light A distant shore, a fading flame A place where dreams still know mi name No na na hey! No na na hey! [Tribal drums rising] [Chorus: full roots reggae groove, warm bass, call and response vocals] No na na hey! No na na hey! Let di wind carry mi home To di place where mi dreams have grown Far beyond these fading walls Far beyond dis lonely road No na na hey! Mi been waiting for di sky Fi open wide and let mi fly Take these chains from mi soul tonight Lead mi to di place where mi belong [Instrumental: heavy dub bass, reggae guitar skank, tribal percussion, ocean atmosphere] No na na hey! No na na hey! [Deep bass pulse] [Call and response chant] [Verse 2: deeper roots reggae groove] Mi build a home inside mi fear A silent world that disappear Di walls grow tall, di shadows stay Mi watch mi colors fade away No na na hey... But mi hear di mountains call Beyond dis prison, beyond it all There is a road mi cannot see Still waiting somewhere out fi me [Pre-Chorus: drums build, stronger vocal delivery] If there is a path across di sea If there is a place meant fi me Let every storm and every wave Show mi di way fi break free No na na hey! No na na hey! [Percussion intensifies] [Chorus: layered vocals, choir response] No na na hey! No na na hey! Let di wind carry mi home To di place where mi dreams have known Far beyond these fading walls Far beyond dis lonely road No na na hey! Mi been waiting for di sky Fi open wide and let mi fly Take these chains from mi soul tonight Lead mi to di place where mi belong [Bridge: stripped back, emotional reggae phrasing, piano and wind ambience] No... na... na... hey... Maybe freedom nah a door Maybe it a something more A voice inside that never die A hidden flame still burning high No na na hey... No na na hey... So if yuh hear mi calling out Through di silence, through di clouds Bring mi closer, bring mi home To di world mi always know [Final Chorus: massive roots reggae ending, full drums, choir layers] No na na hey! No na na hey! No na na hey! Let di wind carry mi home Beyond di walls that hold mi days Into di dream mi could not find Di hidden world inside mi mind No na na hey! No na na hey! Let di wind carry mi home Mi was never meant fi stay behind Take mi soul, take mi heart tonight Lead mi where di stars still shine [Outro: fading guitar, ocean waves] No na na hey... No na na hey... Mi was never lost forever Mi was only waiting for di wind.
