"I will always be there for you"

[Jah Gol]

This song by a local singer Melanie _______. I'm searching for the mp3. I would appreciate any help.

[Tallman]

Ah cyar help you find de mp3, but here are de lyrics. Yuh could sing it tuh yuhself  .

Composed by David Rudder
Performed by Melanie Hudson

I remember when you children were weak and hungry
I took you to my bosom, fed you my oil
And even when you took and wasted and left me drained
There was always love for you in my soil
Even when my older children, they try to shame me
Setting no rules for the younger ones
Bringing such grief and sadness into my old soul
In the end they still my daughters and sons

Chorus:
I will always be there for you
No matter what you do
Whatever joy or pain that you are going through
I will always be there for you
I will be, I will be, I will be always there for you.

Everybody always call me a blessed mother
Mama Trini, God must love you, they say
Hell or high water, I would just rise and embrace you
Protecting my children in every way
Even when you fight and and argue bout different fathers
Remember, the Middle Passage brought them straight to my door
Mama never worry about no race, I just loved them
And so mih blood does boil when you start to war

Chorus:
I will always be there for you
No matter what you do
Whatever joy or pain that you are going through
I will always be there for you
I will be, I will be, I will be always there for you.

So if you really want to make your old lady happy
If you really want to fill me with joy
All you got to do is start looking out for each other, I mean
Man and woman check for the girls and boys
To those of you who sow your seeds and then run like crazy
I want to see you turn and commit your heart
And those of you who choose to leave, all the rest do your duty
Foolishness will only tear us apart.

Chorus:
And I will always be there for you
No matter what you do
Whatever joy or pain that you are going through
I will always be there for you
I will be, I will be, I will be always there for you.
I will always be there for you
No matter what you do
Whatever joy or pain that you are going through
I will always be there for you
I will be, I will be, I will be always there for you.

Wha bout the tune from after the coup...."We go come back good as ever"....

If I remember correctly it was originally a Courts (or some furniture store) jingle after the coup, and by popular demand it was made into a full fledged  tune sung by a bunch of calypsonians...

That was a big tune.. if anyone could find that, ah give yuh real stripes.

'cause we here to stay
We eh goin' no way (where)
We in dis ting together
We go build back town
We go come around
We go come back good as ever.....we go come back good as ever...

wow memories....

[verycute1]

I have goosebumps

You know how sometimes for no reason a song does just pop into you head?

I had three of those today . And I have no idea if anyone here remember these

But I will post the lyrics as I remember them (missing alot of course)

I feel that these songs (well two of them at least) are so relevant to today. i just wish some people could listen to the words and remember how they felt when they first heard these songs and get that pride back.


I know the names of them, but i ent going to say them cause I want to jog your memory a bit.

and if anyone out there have these actual songs and could send them to me

I go love you for life.

******* song #1
today we'll sing our freedom
today we'll laugh again
we saw it through (something something)

well we here to stay
we aint going no way
we in this thing together
we go build back town
we go come around.
we go come back good as ever


********* song #2
 we always say
there is love among us
now is the time
to show that we're serious

let us all stand together as one
to help eradicate starvation

Now is the time
to do the things you say
now is the time
to help in every way
now is the time
to show that you really care

************ song #3 (this one I remember well)

I remember when you children were weak and hungry
I took you to my bosom fed you my oil
even when you took and wasted and left me drained
there was always love for you in my soil

Even when my older children, they try to shame me
Setting no rules for the younger ones
Bringing such grief and sadness into my old soul
In the end they still my daughters and sons

Chorus:
I will always be there for you
No matter what you do
Whatever joy or pain that you are going through
I will always be there for you
I will be, I will be, I will be always there for you.

Everybody always call me a blessed mother
Mama Trini, God must love you, they say
Hell or high water, I would just rise and embrace you
Protecting my children in every way
Even when you fight and and argue bout different fathers
Remember, the Middle Passage brought them straight to my door
Mama never worry about no race, I just loved them
And so mih blood does boil when you start to war

Chorus:
I will always be there for you
No matter what you do
Whatever joy or pain that you are going through
I will always be there for you
I will be, I will be, I will be always there for you.

So if you really want to make your old lady happy
If you really want to fill me with joy
All you got to do is start looking out for each other, I mean

Chorus:
And I will always be there for you

Whatever joy or pain that you are going through
I will always be there for you
I will be, I will be, I will be always there for you.
