We Remember Them
Performed by: Vanilla written, arrange and produced by: Burchmore Simon Backups Vocals: Tennicia DeFreitas and Abidemi
VERSE Once again we on the road for carnival we gon be jumping and we waving like we mad But as we jump and as we wave think about the ones not there
So many people live a life full of sorrow They don't know if they will see a tomorrow They carry a load too heavy to bear For tomorrow they don't care
Think bout the falling soldiers who started the festival think bout the children in the ghetto who cant come to bacchanal
CHORUS So On the road we remember them Yes we remember them Wine we remember them stage we remember them Flags we remember them High we remember them every year at carnival
Bacchanal we remember them Fete we remember them mass we remember them Palance we remember them Jump we remember them Wave we remember them Every year at Festival
VERSE We on the stage and we flags deh flying high But in a corner a mother yes she cries Son gone away buried yesterday My sky is blue hers is gray
Thousands mash yes we having a grand time Rags and flags decorating the skyline Not far away a man in a chair Wish that he could be here
Think bout the homeless people On the pavement they sleep Think bout fatherless children Who have nothing to eat
CHORUS
BRIDGE The air is filled with carnival Give thanks and praise mash festival We remember them (x8)
