RISING
By Rajin Dhanraj [2012]

Fifty years now come and gone
And still, look, we going strong
We don't depend, is we money spend on our nation
We live by democracy, a self-governing body
Our one nation move as one, no segregation ...oh-oh
Now every Trini proud to call this country our own
Take a stand for our land
There is no place like home.

We country rising, we Trini rising
No criticising, we people rising
No backbiting, forward we going
We country rising, T&T rising
We proud of we past, we hope that it last
The future is up to we
Help build a better sweet T&T ...ey-ey, ey-ey
Help build a better sweet T&T.

People, they calling on we, time to do our duty
Is blood, sweat and tears throughout the years of pain and sorrow
Our fathers may be ---------,- their price was heavy to pay
Our base is strong, we moving on for a better tomorrow ...oh-oh
I look around and I see soldiers of a country
Now we sending a message to all troops
"Rally for T&T."

We country rising, we Trini rising
No criticising, we people rising
No backbiting, forward we going
We country rising, T&T rising
---------------- so answer the call
You say that you's a Trini
Help build a better sweet T&T ...ey-ey, ey-ey
Help build a better sweet T&T.

Trini, we second to none, let's serve our humble nation
'Cause we want to be the best we could be for the future
Our leaders play a part, they give all their soul and heart
We get a start, now do your part to take us further ...oh-oh
Look how T&T strive fifty years, how we free
We fighting hard to stamp out the bad in the society.

We country rising, we Trini rising
No criticising, we people rising
No backbiting, forward we going
We country rising, T&T rising
United is all, divided we fall
You say you love your country
Help build a better sweet T&T ...ey-ey, ey-ey
Help build a better sweet T&T.

A Note From The Gull

Thank you, Rajin Dhanraj!

"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!
