歌詞
Sleep for a While, Papa”
*(Afro-Reggae | Soulful | Live drums, bass groove, flute melodies, African choir harmonies)*
**[Intro – Soft flute + distant drums]**
Ohhh ohhh…
Papa…
We still feel you…
But we know this not the end…
---
**[Verse 1]**
I remember your voice in the early morn,
Strength in your hands when the days were worn,
You taught me faith, you taught me right,
To trust in Jah with all my might.
Now the house feels quiet, chair still there,
Sometimes I turn like you’re sitting there,
Tears fall down but my heart stay strong,
‘Cause death no win for too long.
---
**[Pre-Chorus – Soft choir hums]**
Weeping may last through the night,
But joy coming with the morning light…
---
**[Chorus – Full drums + bass + choir]**
Sleep for a while, Papa, rest from the pain,
Morning is coming, we’ll meet again,
Jah promise life, and He don’t lie,
Dry your tears, don’t you cry.
In the new world bright and fair,
No more sickness, no despair,
Hold the faith, we understand,
We’ll walk together in that land.
---
**[Verse 2 – Add talking drum rhythm]**
I see your smile when the sun goes down,
Feel your love when I’m feeling down,
Your prayers still echo in my head,
Even though they say you’re dead.
But I know the grave is just a sleep,
Safe in Jah’s memory, kept so deep,
Trumpet sound and the earth restore,
You’ll step outside that door once more.
---
**[Pre-Chorus – Choir stronger]**
No more sorrow, no more pain,
Life like river flowing again…
---
**[Chorus – Danceable but emotional groove]**
Sleep for a while, Papa, rest from the pain,
Morning is coming, we’ll meet again,
Jah promise life, and He don’t lie,
Dry your tears, don’t you cry.
In the new world bright and fair,
Peace and laughter everywhere,
Hold the faith, we understand,
We’ll walk together in that land.
---
**[Bridge – Slow down, flute solo]**
From dust you came, to dust you rest,
In Jah’s great memory you are blessed,
The earth will bloom beneath your feet,
That resurrection day so sweet.
(Choir:)
*Rise again… rise again…*
---
**[Final Chorus – Big African choir + drums]**
Sleep for a while, Papa, rest from the pain,
Morning is coming like gentle rain,
Grave can’t hold what Jah redeem,
Life will wake like a dream.
Hold the faith, don’t let go,
Paradise soon overflow,
Till that day I’ll trust and stand,
We’ll meet again in that land.
---
**[Outro – Soft flute fading]**
Rest now Papa…
We’ll see you in the morning light…
Jah promise… and He never fails…
