[Trinidadian Creole] Live Life

Lyrics

[Intro]

Hmmmm...

One day...

One day...

Dat's what we always say...

One day ah go rest...
One day ah go smile...
One day ah go really live...

But what if...

Today is de day?

[Verse 1]

He working from morning,
Working through night,
Building ah future
Outta sight, outta mind.

Ah house on ah hillside,
Ah dream made of stone,
But every evening
He eating dinner alone.

She keep on believing,
Just one more year,
Just one more sacrifice,
And happiness will appear.

But de seasons keep turning,
De years slip away,
While tomorrow robbing
De beauty from today.

[Pre-Chorus]

De sun doh wait,
De river doh stay,

And life keep moving
Whether we notice or not.

[Chorus]

🌍 Live yuh life...

Before de moment gone.

Hold yuh love...

Before it moves on.

Take time to laugh,
Take time to breathe,

Take time to see de beauty
Dat today can bring.

'Cause dreams important,

But so is de journey.

Live yuh life...

While yuh building yuh dreams.

[Verse 2]

Ah father send money,
Ah mother send care,
Trying to build something
For de family to share.

But deep inside dem,
Ah quiet voice say,

"When last ah really live
One good day?"

De world keep reminding we
To run and achieve,

But de heart keep whispering,

"Doh forget to live."

[Pre-Chorus]

De flowers doh hurry,
De birds never race,

Yet somehow dey still find
Dey beautiful place.

[Chorus]

🌍 Live yuh life...

Before de moment gone.

Hold yuh love...

Before it moves on.

Take time to laugh,
Take time to breathe,

Take time to see de beauty
Dat today can bring.

'Cause dreams important,

But so is de journey.

Live yuh life...

While yuh building yuh dreams.

[Bridge]

Take de picture.

Make de memory.

Call yuh mother.

Visit ah friend.

Watch de sunset.

Take de holiday.

Dance in de kitchen.

Start again.

'Cause one day
We all have to leave,

And nobody wish
They worked one more shift.

But many wish
They spent more time

Living de life
They worked so hard to build.

[Final Chorus]

🌍 Live yuh life...

Before de moment gone.

Hold yuh love...

Before it moves on.

Take time to laugh,
Take time to breathe,

Take time to see de beauty
Dat today can bring.

'Cause de future ain't promised,

And tomorrow ain't guaranteed.

So live yuh life...

Love deeply...

Dream boldly...

Give freely...

And live yuh life...

While yuh building yuh dreams.

[Outro]

Hmmmm...

De house could wait...

De world could wait...

De moment cyah wait...

Live yuh life...
