Daughter like rain
She come quiet like di evening dew
Tiny finger wrap and everything new
Mi voice drop low when she fall asleep
Promise mi nah make dat mi know fi keep
Before har mi move rough and nah think twice
Now mi measure every word precise
She nah teach wid book she teach wid eye
One look from har and di whole world shy
Daughter like rain
She fall and mi grow
Daughter like rain
Soft and slow
She run through di yard wid mud pon har knee
Laugh so loud dat di neighbour dem see
Mi lift har up and di weight feel right
Like carrying sunlight into di night
She ask mi question dat mi cyaan answer yet
Why di moon follow wi why di ocean wet
And mi realize sitting pon dat step
She sharpen mi more dan any whetstone kept
Daughter like rain
She fall and mi grow
Daughter like rain
Soft and slow
Mi fada never hold mi like dis
Him love was real but him hand dem miss
So mi learn fi bend where him stand up stiff
Har smile rebuild wha mi childhood rift
Daughter like rain
She fall and mi grow
Daughter like rain
Soft and slow
