THE T&T I WANT TO SEE
Uploaded by seckomusic
We searching and fighting and looking and accusing but we cannot find
A magic formula, what a dilemma, we running out of time
The goal is 20/20, I hear somebody say
But in the context of time that's not so far away
Show me love of country and civic pride
Be aware of your self worth from deep inside.
Change the "crabs in the barrel" mentality
Not just what's good for me but for everybody.
These are the things that I want to see in my T&T, long before 2020
Once conceived in the mind, it could become a reality, in sweet T&T
Don't wait for 2020!
A clean and transparent system and judiciary
Treat the police fairly so that they could take care of all of we
Let's get a better understanding of the youth man
Did he get a fair share of love and affection?
Or one of many children by a single female
Two or more fathers still serving time in jail
A problem that's there and it's plain to see
And must be solved with help from the powers that be.
These are the things that I want to see in my T&T, long before 2020
Once conceived in the mind, it could become a reality, in sweet T&T
Don't wait for 2020!
You cannot be independent if you cannot feed yourself
What use is the oil money if we don't have food to put on the shelf?
You would think by now we should be self sufficient
When the food crisis hit, we dollar ent worth a cent
And man, as the ultimate survivor
It might be we could see man eating one another
Let we doh wait for that to happen to we
Plant the land now with food for everybody.
These are the things that I want to see in my T&T, long before 2020
Once conceived in the mind, it could become a reality, in sweet T&T
Don't wait for 2020!
I want to feel safe when I walking 'bout the place and it late at night
A stranger in the darkness shouldn't make me think 'bout fight or flight
No illegal drugs selling in my community
Oil money spending for the good of you and me
One race, and that's the human race
The old and the needy, they must have a place
And a program for vagrants and street children
To answer the Father's call for goodwill to all men.
These are the things that I want to see in my T&T, long before 2020
Once conceived in the mind, it could become a reality, in sweet T&T
Don't wait for 2020!

A Note From The Gull
Thank you to whoever composed and sang this song for our country.
"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!
Guanaguanare
