The Calypso Finalists Songs

I played on this new world where calypso would be treated with more respect, where it can be used to better develop a Nation of Pride and joy. Where youngsters would love the art form and can live through their expression.

 

But unless we teach kids true values from the start then this new world of Calypso may become the Apocalypso

 

 

 

The Calypso Finalists’ Songs

 

The Time for Change is here

Here waiting for De Bell

Establishing the Apocalypso, a new frontier

Calypsonians here are judged well

Ah Frighten though that we

Languished here too long

Young artistes need Morals and Decency,

Panache written in their song

Stars from the past must heed The Call

Outline to them Calypso owes you nothing

For the Children it’s not all dance hall

It can be the Calypso Music they sing

Nations can be discovered through music

And it doesn’t take a Columbus to do

Life here in My Barbados invites it

I is a Bajan and I’m proud to be too

Some may say that Bajan’s Can’t See

Tell them Look Meh Hey and it ends

Set standards to avert Catastrophe

Show them All politicians is Friends

Our lives would be based on Man’s Love Song

Not on a society like the Animal Farm

Got a Wrong Decision? So, what’s wrong?

Soca euphoria will erase all harm
