REPRESENT (REMIX)
Performed by Machel Montano and Freetown
Woh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, one love is the anthem!
Let me see your hand dem, hand dem, hand dem. Wey!
Let me see your hand dem!
I have love for the whole wide world with you at the center
You are the master key,
If love is by my side, then who can deny me?
I keep climbing higher, higher.
We going down the road, hands in the air
People everywhere, love and unity is here
It's that time of year where we don't care
It don't matter where you're from
Put your flag in the air and represent, represent
Just one love, just one love
Just one love, just one love
And represent, represent
Just one love, just one love
Just one love, just one love.
My people, do you listen? Tell me, do you hear?
What is your position for the people? Do you care? Yeah.
When you tell me that you represent
I really want to see some evidence
In Freetown this is evident
So bring it from your soul.
Woh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, one love is the anthem
Let me see your hand dem. Wey!
Woh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, one love is the anthem
Let me see your hand dem. Wey!
'Cause this is Carnival where we come alive
Oh no, we never fight, we gonna dance all night
So just wave your flag, make it touch the sky
We nah go stop tonight so let me see your hands.
Let me see your hand dem, hand dem, hand dem. Wey!
Let me see your hand dem!
I have love for the whole wide world with you at the center
You are the master key
If love is by my side, then who can deny me?
I keep climbing higher, higher.
Just one love, just one love
Just one love, just one love
And represent, represent
Just one love, just one love
Just one love, just one love.
Woh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, one love is the anthem
Let me see your hand dem. Wey!
Woh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, one love is the anthem
Let me see your hand dem, Wey!
We coming on a mission and we don't really care
One live in distribution and we have some more to spare. Yeah
And we live like this here every day
We do it in love and we don't delay
Love like this we must relay
It fill your heart and soul.
Woh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, one love is the anthem
Let me see your hand dem. Wey!
Woh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, one love is the anthem
Let me see your hand dem, Wey!
'Cause this is Carnival where we come alive
Oh no we never fight, we gonna dance all night
So just wave your flag, make it touch the sky
We nah go stop tonight so let me see your hands...

A Note From The Gull
Thank you, Machel Montano and Freetown. I usually bypass Carnival music but I found that this remix is special because of the message coming out of the collaboration between Freetown and Machel Montano. In their performances, Muhammad Muwakil and Lou Lyons of Freetown Collective, always appear as rainy season after drought. And they are not the only ones in the homeland who are living proof of the bounty and resilience of Creation. Regeneration emerges from the heart of dead wood and rubble and more are coming to prove that we will survive ourselves. I have hope.
"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!
