A Model Nation

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The whole population of our little nation Is not a lot But oh! what a mixture of races and culture That's what we've got Still no major indifference Of race, color, religion or finance It's amazing to you I'm sure We didn't get Independence before Which means [Chorus] Trinidad and Tobago will always live on Colonialism gone, our Nation is born... everybody We go follow our leaders They always do their best Oh yes, we want to achieve, we going to aspire We bound to be a succеss [Verse 2] It is a miracle all these diffеrent people Can dwell so well You see, we are educated to love and forget hatred You know, you know is so You people who are foreign Ah got a message to give you when you going Spread the word anywhere you pass Tell the world there's a model nation at last Which means [Chorus] Trinidad and Tobago will always live on Colonialism gone, our Nation is born We go follow our leaders They always do their best We want to achieve, I meself do aspire We bound to be a success [Verse 3] The revenue we make from oil and the Pitch Lake Is great, but wait We got cocoa and copra, banana and sugar Coconuts, citrus We may be small but we wealthy Pound for pound we'll beat New York City We got beaches and hotels built by Hilton Our nation ain't second to anyone What are you talking? [Chorus] Trinidad and Tobago will always live on Colonialism gone, our Nation is born We go follow our leaders They always do their best In order to achieve, you got to aspire And we bound to be a success [Verse 4] You may not believe this but we didn't achieve this With floods of blood It is leaders like Butler, Cipriani, and the Doctor They fight for what is right So now I'm congratulating all our leaders From the present back to the beginning They have fought, now the battle is won Thanks for a good job and well done Everybody [Chorus] Trinidad and Tobago will always live on Colonialism gone, our Nation is born We go follow our leaders They always do their best In order to achieve, ah know we got to aspire And we bound to be a success
