PATHWAYS TO PROGRESS - Cyril Paul, August 2001

It's now summer in the city

The heat wave's on the rise

There'll be a carnival in frogtown  

Everyone will be disguised.

A new spirit's in the dawning 

With plans to stay always

You can feel it in the children

 Yes, it shows in different ways.

See the building blocks are ready 

As cast of colour of many hue

Should you care to come and join us

 We shall share our spirits a new.

How we celebrate our ancient customs 

And celebrate our changing life

Seeking harmony each step

 In the midst of daily strife.

In our hearts we feel the changes 

In our souls we plant the seed

Drawn together seeking wisdom

From every culture and every creed.

Join us in a life worth living

On the wings of the turtle dove

Come together, bring the sunshine

Bring your sorrows, we shower the love.
