Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Enjoy yourself in de mass
Cause you never know
It could be your last
Enjoy yourself in de mass
Cause you never know
It could be your last
Give thanks and pray
Raise voices and say
We grateful that for another
Year de father has let us live on
Carnival day
Raise voices and say
So many of us would like to be
Here with us but now they are gone
Enjoy yourself, free up your mind,
Inside da mass
Let yourself go, you never know
It could be your last
Give thanks and praise
When dem hands, and go up in de air
Thank de almighty, that you live to see
At least one more year
[Chorus]
Please remember, those who left us
When you take your wine
Cause it could have been you
Who didn't make it through
Please bear that in mind
And those who have gone
Your soul still lives on
In de band show and fete
And for de contribution
You made to the earth
We will never forget
[Chorus: x 2]
