Paradise Lost Lyrics

Montserrat was on top of the world

Our precious Emerald Pearl

Undisputed Gem of the Caribbean

We used live de Montserrat Dream

Remember the days when de good times used to roll

Hardships then took its toll

Paradise was ours

Now plenty pain and horrors

Living below de poverty line

So much pain and anguish dem say Montserrat finish

Paradise Lost

Paradise Lost

And we de people must pay de cost

A new day must dawn to recover what's gone

Sacrifice is de only way

There must be a new sunrise over the hill de dawning of a brand new day

It's not what you have or how you live

It's de sacrifice and what you give

Until we pay the price of sacrifice

That's when only then we go regain paradise

De country in a state of emergency

No hope no urgency

Now is not the time to procrastinate

Come on step up to de plate

We barely surviving but leaders keep lying

Playing the blame game while hardships remain the same

Promise after promise but we still in a crisis

De cry all about we living from han' to mout'

So much pain and anguish dem say Montserrat finish

Paradise lost

Paradise lost

And we de people must pay de cost

A new day must dawn to recover what's gone

Sacrifice is de only way

There must be a new sunrise over the hill de dawning of a brand new day

It's not what you have or how you live

It's de sacrifice and what you give

Until we pay the price of sacrifice

That's when only then we go regain paradise

We need all and sundry

To rescue de county

Stop de envy and backstabbing

Greed and grabbing

Hardwork and intent

Strong commitment

Is de bill we owe de county still

Love cherish each other

Work hard together

That's de price of sacrifice!

Better days in focus

De onus is on us

Paradise Lost

Paradise Lost

And we de people must pay de cost

A new day must dawn to recover what's gone

Sacrifice is de only way

Wakeup to the new sunrise the rebirth of paradise de dawning of a brand new day

It's not what you have or how you live

It's de sacrifice and what you give

Until we pay the price of sacrifice

That's when only then we go regain paradise
