All hands in the air! (Gospelypso)

 

Raise! All Hands In The Air

Raaaaaaaaaaaise all hands in the air
Everybody praising Jesus (praising Jesus) all hands in the air (x2)

A new day dawning 
In church it call-ing 
No time for stall-ing 
Let's go, Let's go, 
Wake up everyone who's sleeping 
Meet me in the church

New inspiration
No contemplation 
Deliberation, let's go let’s go
Wake up everyone who's sleeping
Meet me in the church

Raise, all hands in the air...2x

Leave no one missing,
This song interesting,
Want all witness-ing 
Let's go let's go 
Wake up everyone who's sleeping
Meet me in the church

My motivation an inspiration
A culmination
Come on people wake up every one who's sleeping
Meet me in the church 

Raise your hand in the air ...2x

2023 Roadmarch lyrics bosses

 The energy of soca songs that make it into the Carnival Roadmarch race is always palpable. The lyrics of these songs are always usually very special. I love it when soca songs have more than just a good beat to jump to. These are the ones that usually outlast the others as the years pass.

Here's a snippet of the lyrics of what to me are the bonafide 2023 RoadMarch contenderS.

Stage is yuh name - (FayAnn Lyons)

"Make dem wonder ...how you did it
....All that energy just put it down, on de stage"

"We going to rip it up..."

"We going to misbehave for those no longer here"

"When you reach de stage make a memory"

"Show it off right now for the world to see"

Hard Fete (Bunji Garlin)

I not going no small fete, lemme extend my apologies,
Only big fete with big flag going over head like canopy,
Rag in me back pocket with a white vest, sneakers and Wallaby’s,
Knife tips and tight pants, I never really rate none ah these,
I come from from brass festival and from customs and from flour mills,
Wasa fete, fire fete and licensing fete and them had a power pill,
Everybody gone nice and groovy, ‘Bunji allyuh pushing power still?
If is me alone leave me with power on a hill...
All soca people put yuh two hand in de air, yuh two hand in de air!
All soca lovers do this: show me show me hand!!! (THIS LINE RIGHT HERE - MAD VIBES!!

Like Yuhself (Monk aka Machel Montano and Patrice)

Look where we reach again
End up in a party in de streets again...
Is ah 1000 man...ah wanna jam all...
Why we bringing sand up to de beach here now?
...I is not your man, you is not my girl until we reach home!

So you could jam up on who yuh want
And ah go wine up on who I like
And if yuh feel tuh wine on everybody inside here
Like yuhself!

Come Home (Nailah and Skinny Fabulous)

And if I ever let your down my friend, it was a misunderstanding...

Jump like I never jump

Ah sorry and I need you back in my life

People by de truck, emotions running high

No place like home

Come home to me, Come home to me!

Shake De Place (Destra and Machel Montano)

Jump up and jump up and shake up de whole place
...
Shake de ground,...shake up de whole place
Shake de ground,...shake up de whole place
...
Tell dem dat we Carnival is de greatest!

Tell dem meet we by de grandstand.
Tell everybody...!

Soca Party (Nadia Batson)

Oh gosh! Everybody come to de front!

Nothing but soca!
All we want is soca!
Dis is a soca ... party!

You Are What Love Is (1977)

Knowing you stand by me
Through thick and thin
You are the only one
I can tell just anything
You always lend a hand
You make me understand
And darling I know why
My darling I know why 
You are what love is

You're the air that I breathe, you're the sun in my sky
You're what love is
You're the song that I sing and I'll do anything
Baby just for you
You're the air that I breathe, you're the sun in my sky
You're what love is
You're the song that I sing and I'll do anything
Baby just for you
Cause you are what love is

Knowing there's always you
No matter when
You always find the clue
To make me feel brand new
You give life to my soul
Don't need no pot of gold
And darling I know why
My darling I know why
You are what love is

You're the air that I breathe, you're the sun in my sky
You're what love is
You're the song that I sing and I'll do anything
Baby just for you
You're the air that I breathe, you're the sun in my sky
You're what love is
You're the song that I sing and I'll do anything
Baby just for you
Cause you are what love is

Repeat

I Will Be Your Friend (1986)

You don't know what's going on 
You never can be sure
It's puzzling to work out
The lands we made before
You don't have to worry
I will be around
I will always love you
I won't let you down

I will be always be
Until then
I will be your friend

I've been waiting for too long
I've been doing time
Sitting here thinking of you
You're always on my mind
When I'm lonely in my room
Time lingers on
I can't stay away from you
Cause love is holding on

I will be always be
Until then
I will be your friend

You don't know what's going on 
You never can be sure
It's puzzling to work out
The lands we made before
You don't have to worry
I will be around
I will always love you
I'll never ever let you down

I will be always be
Until then
I will be your friend

I will be always be
Until then
I will be your friend

Crying's Easy

Caught up in no man's land
Don't know where you stand
Pretty lady, just where you are
Living in loneliness
Teardrops you can't resist
You look so weary and so sad
Yes I know what you've been through
All your life he's been hurting you

Chorus
I'll share my life with you
I'll make your dream come true
I'll be your miracle, yes I would
He built your hopes up high
Then put you down to cry
He left you lonely, crying's easy

Yours dreams are now yesterday
Your hopes so far away
Don't you worry I'll be yours
Just put your hand in mind
Stay with me awhile
I know it's not hard if you try
For I know what you've been through
All your life he's been hurting you

I'll share my life with you
I'll make your dream come true
I'll be your miracle, yes I would
He built your hopes up high
Then put you down to cry
He left you lonely, crying's easy

Say A Little Prayer (for the children) 1979

What is gonna happen in a little while from now
When our time has passed away and the world has turned around?
Children now I see,
Wandering by the streets
Hunger and poverty
Someone forget their destiny

But who's gonna be the one?
Who's gonna be around?
I hope their times won't be sad.

Chorus
Say a little prayer for the children
Say a little prayer for the young ones
Say a little prayer that they might grow to see the world more beautiful
Say a little prayer each night and day
Say it before you pass away
So their hearts will be filled with joy, love and harmony

They walk the streets at night
They learn to steal and how to fight
Their tender hearts are filled with war
No love they'll find behind prison's door
They've got to be aware
In their minds, there must be no fear
Go ahead you must be brave
Much more love to them you must give

But who's gonna be the one?
Who's gonna be around?
I hope their times won't be sad.

Say a little prayer for the children
Say a little prayer for the young ones
Say a little prayer that they might grow to see the world more beautiful
Say a little prayer each night and day
Say it before you pass away
So their hearts would be filled with joy, love and harmony

(spoken)
Say a little prayer ...
Put your hands together  ...
Get down on your knees ... you gotta do it

Wanna Make Love To You

I've got a feeling
So appealing don't let it die
I've got the real thing such a sweet thing, give it a try
My love is the only thing I have to give
And I've been wanting to admit

I wanna make love to you 
if it's the last thing I do
I wanna make love to you

It's like a madness
Mixed with gladness
I can't turn away
I won't stop trying
There's no use denying
I need you today
My dreams are filled with fantasy of you
And all the rude things that we do

Denial (2012)

I'm in trouble
And I really didn't want to mention
On de level
Started off with good intentions

Yuh see I really didn't want to hide it
Yuh see I really didn't want to lie
But every time that he ask the questions
I had no choice to reply
When he ask me

"Whey yuh was when ah call yuh phone dis morning?"
Don't know what yuh talkin bout.
"And why every question ah ask yuh stallin'?"
Don't know what yuh talkin bout.
"Who's de man drop yuh home last night in a Lancer?"
Answer!
Don't know what yuh talkin bout.
"And when ah call yuh phone yuh take long tuh answer?"

I tried and I tried
I still denied the truth inside
So ah answer
Don't know what yuh talkin bout.

Wey yuh talking bout
Wey yuh talking bout
Wey yuh talking bout
Don't know what yuh talkin bout
Repeat 3x

Wey yuh talking bout

It's not easy puttin up dis sort a deception
Maybe baby would believe my explanation

Even though I didn't want to lie
But every time that he ask de questions
Man ah had no choice to reply
When he ask me

"Whey yuh was when ah call yuh phone dis morning?"
Don't know what yuh talkin bout
"And why every question ah ask yuh stallin'?" (Answer)

"Who's de man drop yuh home last night in a Lancer?"

Don't know what yuh talkin bout.
"And when ah call yuh phone yuh taking long tuh answer?"

When it comes to dis love relation
So many t'ings that ah know he hidin'
So many times that ah know he lie
Cuz every time that ah ask de question
To all ah dem he had de same reply
When ah ask him


"Whey yuh was when ah call yuh phone dis morning?"
