Irie (Sound Mind)

“Some would say they have a peace that passes all understanding. In the Caribbean, we would say everything Irie.” (Vincent Charlow)
Amidst global turmoil, let us hold onto hope and stand with courage, love, and a sound mind. Trust in the peace that surpasses all understanding. IRIE! (Royce Lovett)

VERSE 1
G Em Am D G Em
Could it be, that ‘heaven on earth’s in front of me?
Am D G Em
In passing faces on the street
Am D G Em Am D
In hearts that are scarred with suffering
G Em Am D G Em
What does it mean, to honestly let you live in me?
Am D G Em
With all of my fears and frailty
Am D G Em Am D
Open my heart and eyes to see

CHORUS
G Em Am
Give me a sound mind
D G Em Am
Power and love
D G Em Am
We need a sound mind
D D G Em Am D
Power and love / As you do this healing work in us

VERSE 2
Let it be, us learning to love the last and least
Us reaching down empty hands to hold and build a home
For every weary soul, and even our foes

BRIDGE
D Em
So many days it feels impossible
C D
Trying to do this on my own
D D#dim Em
Woke up this morning not sure which way was up
C D
I thought by now that I had grown
D D#dim
This weight getting heavy holding
Em
I had no way of knowing
Am D
The power it takes to let things go
