Wilderness Medicine

Love, mi see it in your eyes again
Di weight of di world pressin' down like rain
Adultin' heavy, responsibility tall
You try fi stand strong but it wears on you all

You give so much till your spirit feel thin
But I know where you find di balance within
Go back to di cabin wid your childhood friends
You always come home lighter when di journey ends

So take di drive, love, go free your brain
Leave di deadlines, step outta di strain
You don't haffi hold all dis weight alone
Sometimes a man need di woods fi find back home

Up inna di wilderness, mind get still again
Good green meditation wash di trouble from your brain
City keep pullin', world goin' mad again
So go wid your childhood friends, that's how you keep sane
Yeah, that's how you keep sane

Go cook slow, love, like you always do
Let garlic in di pan start sing for you
Let butter melt soft and di whole place warm
Let di quiet wrap round you like a healing storm

Go build di fire wid your boys again
Talk bout di old jokes only you three explain
Let di sparks chase darkness from your chest
Let laughter remind you how your soul rest best

You talk wid dem bout scars you hide from sight
Dreams you still carry through di long hard night
And every time you share wid dem your pain
Up inna di wilderness you come back whole again

Up inna di wilderness, mind get still again
Good green meditation wash di trouble from your brain
City keep pullin', world goin' mad again
So go wid your childhood friends, that's how you keep sane
That's how you keep sane

So go, my love, go slow down your days
Go breathe in di pine trees, let nature rearrange
It don't mean you run from di life we build
It mean you return stronger, heart refilled

Every couple months, you disappear from di strain
Cabin inna di woods bring back di man again
That's your medicine
That's your way
Up inna di wilderness, that's how you stay sane

Love, mi remember di look in your eyes
Before di world get heavy and di deadlines rise
You had dat laughter from di old days still
Runnin' wild wid your breddas on di side of di hill

Now mi see you carry all di weight alone
Tryna be di man fi every soul at home
But mi know where your true self live again
Up inna di wilderness wid your childhood men

You need di place where memories breathe
Where di trees still call you by di name you leave
Where di silence know your story from back then
And give you back di parts you lose again

Up inna di wilderness, mind get still again
Good green meditation soften all your pain
Laugh wid your brothers like di teenage days remain
Up inna di wilderness, that's how you keep sane
Yeah, that's how you keep sane

Go cook slow, love, like you always do
Let garlic in di pan start sing for you
Good green glow turn di whole night warm
And di jokes get louder as di fire take form

Mi love how your eyes get young again there
As if time rewind and erase every care
Those breddas hold chapters mi never did read
But mi see how your soul come home wid speed

So go where di river sound calm your chest
Go where di mountains know how to bring you rest
Brotherhood a medicine no doctor explain
It stitch back di pieces di world tear again

Up inna di wilderness, mind get still again
Good green meditation wash di trouble from your brain
Laugh wid your brothers like di young days again
Up inna di wilderness, that's how you keep sane
That's how you keep sane

So go, my love, go slow down your days
Go breathe in di pine trees, let nature rearrange
It don't mean you run from di life we build
It mean you return stronger, heart refilled

Every couple months mi watch you leave di strain
Cabin inna di woods bring back di man again
That's your medicine
That's your way
Up inna di wilderness, that's how you stay sane
