One Day Of Prayer [Song]

ONE DAY OF PRAYER
Performed by Singing Sandra
Composed by Christophe Grant (2004)

[Ah beggin mih country
Oh oh, ah beggin sweet T&T]

No, this cyah be my country
No, not sweet T&T
The good old days, the old-fashioned ways
Tell me, where did they go?
We’ve grown so callous, so cold
Oh Lord, mih country done lost its soul
There’s too much pain, our knees we must stain
Come on Trinbago!

That is why I calling for one, one day of prayer
All we need is one, one day of prayer
Just to reverse this blight, this curse
That hangs upon us.
Oh, tell me sweet Jesus
It should be all through the year
But I will settle for one, one day of prayer
So that we could see back in T&T
Peace and harmony. Oh, somebody hear me.

No, this cyah be my people
Causing so much trouble
With so much church steeple, mosque
mandir and temple all over mih land
But there is no value, no value to life
Oh Lord, intolerance, yes, it’s rife
Life we disrespect,
Noboby doh check for dey fellow man

But to save mih land ah beggin
One, one day of pray
All we need is one, one day of prayer
Just to dispel these clouds,
This hell that dwell among us
Oh, to stop all the chaos
It should be weekly I swear
But I go settle for one, one day of prayer
So that we could see here in T&T
Love and unity. Tell me, do you agree with me

Blessed by the Almighty
So much natural beauty
Caves to coral reef, it is past disbelief
Yes, from coast to coast
But on envy, envy and hate
On all these ugly things we concentrate
As if we are blind to the things divine
For which we should toast

Put aside for the most
Ah pleading, one, one day of prayer
All we need is one, one day of prayer
To meditate, to concentrate the ties that bind us
Ah beggin, hear me sweet Jesus
We doh face no hurricane,
No natural disasters, no war, no pain
We should all agree, God bless T&T
Why de misery? Tell me, tell me. Somebody tell me.

Oh, come together now! One day of prayer!

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
