By Gypsy
Arranged by Pelham Goddard and Gypsy
Album: Man and Time, T&T, 1995

Spoken: Caribbean people, we have heard that unity is strength. Let's prove it. Unite and be strong!

Caribbean people, let's get together
Unity is the answer, this world is getting small
We have to unite if we must survive
Unity is what would keep us alive
Nothing else, let us protect ourselves.

What we need is one [one] one [one] one Caribbean
We need one [one] one [one] one Caribbean
We have too many borders, too many flags
Too many passports, too much immigration
All we need is one [one] one [one] one Caribbean
We need one [one] one [one] one Caribbean.

Our politicians must understand this
We need much more than simple lip service
Let us pool the resources that we got
So we become more than just little dots
In this world the mighty control.

What we need is one [one] we need one [one] one Caribbean
We need one [one] only one [one] we need one Caribbean
We have too many borders, oh god, too many flags
Too many passports, too much immigration
when all we need is one [one] we need one [one] one Caribbean
we need one [one] only one [one] one Caribbean.

Whose land is bigger or which is smaller
In a disaster that doesn't matter
Our economic state has long dictate
The time is now when we cooperate
Can't we see we need unity?

All we need is one [one] one [one] one Caribbean
We need one [one] only one [one] one Caribbean
We have too many borders, too many flags
Too many passports, too much immigration
All we need is one [one] one [one] one Caribbean
We need one [one] only one [one] one Caribbean.

Our Independence is still on paper
We are still controlled by some foreign master
To whose drum we dance when his music play
Disunity is what have us this way
That is wrong when we could be strong.

If we just have one [one] one [one] one Caribbean
Only one [one] just one [one] one Caribbean
We have too many borders, too many flags
Too many passports, too much immigration
All we need is one [one] one [one] one Caribbean
We need one [one] only one [one] one Caribbean.

Tell your preacher! [One, one]
Tell your teacher! One Caribbean
We need one [one] only one [one] one Caribbean
Tell your leader! One [one] one [one] one Caribbean
Woh oh oh [One, one, one Caribbean]
Oh yes, all we need is one, one, one Caribbean.

"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!
