Lyrics

VERSE

Soaring high like a butterfly
Music sweeter than a lullaby

Feel like I'm ready to just lose my mind
The rhythm, the symphony, that something inside
Feel like I'm ready to just break away
The freedom, the ecstasy, the culture display
Play me a melody that I can sing
De music haunting me, I want to release it

Jump up and leh meh see you get on bad
Hands up, we representing Trinidad
Put ya hands in de air and show dem

Chorus

We luv de Carnival, we luv de bacchanal and
We luv de Mas in de sun whole day
We luv to have a time, we luv to fete and lime and
We luv to play in the sun whole day

Verse

One by one, two and three
When we move, we move in harmony

There's no difference, no prejudice with you and me
Altogether we moving now as one family
No races, no color, there's no class, no creed
'Cause we happy together, and that's all that we need
Play me a melody that I can sing
De music haunting me, I want to release it

Jump up and leh meh see you get on bad
Hands up, we representing Trinidad
I want ya raise ya hands in de air and show dem

Chorus

Bridge
Feel like I'm ready to just lose my mind
Is de rhythm, de symphony, that something inside
And I feel like I'm ready to just breakaway
Is de freedom, de ecstasy, de culture display
So leh we jump, for de steelband
Jump, for de brass band
Jump, for de iron
Jump, for de..Mas
Raise ya hand in de air, and leh meh hear ya say
We go jump up together, yes on Carnival day

Verse

Chipping fast, we chipping slow
Anywhere we pass, is fire down below

And ah doh think I ever get a fever so
'Cause I'm burning, and I doh mind, I like it just so
I'll never miss Carnival ever again
I'll be jumping, and wining in the sunshine or rain
Play me a melody that I can sing
De music haunting me, I want to release it

Jump up and leh meh see you get on bad
Hands up, we representing Trinidad
I want ya raise ya hands in de air and show dem

Chorus
