Stitched In (Patois Threads)

[spoken] Yuh see when yuh weave thread dem togetta? Dem change. It get bigga… an’ more beautiful. Jus’ like a tapestry. People connection dem work di same way… If yuh tink ’bout it. [verse] Come an’ gone, fast den slow — So it run. Twist an’ turn, cyaah catch mi breath — We stitch it up. Life jus’ grow, an’ wi nuh always know — Still we move. Stay or stray, heart still a play — Full up wid sun. [chorus] One more thread stitch in di line, di cloth get firm an’ tight. No matta weh yuh step in life, yuh deh yah same way, alright? When yuh gone, weh yuh deh, mi heart still feel yuh near. An’ when mi leave, mi still believe — yuh spirit always here. [verse] Tie up fi betta, tie up fi wuss — Yuh can see. Sunshine or storm, we still deh pon course — A we pick it. Mi deh yah wid yuh — mi likkle gyal, mi bredda — Time stop fi we. It hold we close like pickney dem, ’Cause wi know weh wi be. [chorus] One more thread stitch in di line, di cloth get firm an’ tight. No matta weh yuh step in life, yuh deh yah same way, alright? When yuh gone, weh yuh deh, mi heart still feel yuh near. An’ when mi leave, mi still believe — yuh spirit always here. [bridge] We a part a something beautiful, an’ we build it together. Still a build it, side by side — now, an’ forever. Over an’ under, through an’ through. [chorus] Each thread yuh bring still strong inna mi — It hold mi tight each day. No distance ever draw yuh out, Mi spirit know yuh stay. Where yuh go, how yuh roam, mi soul still call yuh name. When mi move, mi heart still seh — “Yuh right yah, jus’ di same.”
