Lyrics
Description
[Verse 1]
Balmy breeze on my skin, salt air and steel drum time,
Moon on the reef, footsteps slow, sugar cane sway in line.
The weight of ignominy, shame like an old tired song,
But the tide pulls it gentle, and the night sings me along.
From that distant cataclysm, when the sky was torn and loud,
I learned to plant new roots in luxuriant, green ground.
The farce of my old sorrow, the stories misery told—
Here they fold like paper boats and drift away with gold.
[Chorus]
Balmy winds, absolve me now — absolve me now (absolve me now)
Let the music defray the strain, let the music defray the strain.
Elated, I rise — I won't kowtow to fear (I won't kowtow)
Giddy heart, lift me higher, island love so near.
[Verse 2]
Steel drum heartbeat, hips swaying under lamp-lit skies,
Cane fields hum like a choir, salt on our lips, hopeful eyes.
No more bowing low to shadows that whisper farce and blame,
We laugh like children after rain, and call each other by name.
The cataclysm taught me mercy, taught me how to bend and grow,
To let the sun defray the cold and warm what winter stole.
Luxuriant nights hold our secrets, moonlight folds us in her glow,
Giddy with the freedom that only honest hearts can know.
[Pre-Chorus]
No more chains of yesterday, no more pockets full of doubt,
Balmy mornings teach the soul what living's really about.
[Chorus]
Balmy winds, absolve me now — absolve me now (absolve me now)
Let the music defray the strain, let the music defray the strain.
Elated, I rise — I won't kowtow to fear (I won't kowtow)
Giddy heart, lift me higher, island love so near.
[Bridge]
From ash and flash of that great fall, new green climbs through the pain,
We plant our feet in luxuriant soil, we dance in gentle rain.
Shame and ignominy melt away like footprints by the tide,
We claim the dawn with laughing mouths, let truth be our guide.
A little Jamaican whisper — we're irie, calm and true,
But words alone won't carry us, the rhythm sees us through.
[Chorus — Final / Crescendo]
Balmy winds, absolve me now — absolve me now (absolve me now)
Let the music help defray the strain, let it lighten every chain.
Now elated, I stand — I won't kowtow to fear (no more kowtowing)
Giddy soul, rise and sing — island light is here.
[Outro]
Balmy winds carry us far, past the farce and past the pain,
Absolve my heart, defray the dark, in luxuriant sun and rain.
Balmy winds, absolve me now — forever in this island song,
Elated, giddy, free at last, where all our broken things belong.
