Keeping on the Caribbean theme I am most happy to present to you “Going to Grenada.” This song lyric was written in that sunny paradise inspired by the journey of my wife and me to her home. Maurice Bishop was perhaps the greatest political mind of the twenty-first century.
You will find this gem and many others in my book of song lyrics called “Without The Music.” If you have are a singer and what some material it is a must. Or from a purely poetic point of view, it is a work worthy of exploration.
Going To Grenada
JFK was miles away to catch the plane
City in fright, security tight what a pain
Took off my belt and I mooned the guard
Never knew going to Grenada would be so hard
Going to Grenada
The Island in the sea
Going to Grenada
With my Love with me
Landed in the sun, really felt the heat
Maurice Bishop airport that name’s a treat
Long ago the man fought for all our dreams
Rose like an angel only to fall in screams
Going to Grenada
Revolution does survive
Going to Grenada
Our hopes are still alive
Family, friends, we are kinfolk one and all
Calypso, hip hop, reggae, prophets call
Times hard, money tight but hopes run high
Maurice is dead but dreams can never die
Music puts the Love in motion
Sunny beaches by the ocean
Riches here beyond compare
For all of us to share?
Going to Grenada
Can you read between the lines
Going to Grenada
Everything will be fine
My throat dry, belly empty, where is righteousness
Jesus was well until Judas gave his kiss
On that hill on that cross blood was shed for peace
The world could use another man like you Maurice
Going to Grenada
God I beg you for your grace
Going to Grenada
Help the human race
