When things are going wrong Is time for introspection Time for honest talk between countrymen

How did we come To this unfortunate junction Now we long for what we rejected back then

Because back then What we thought was rough Were really some of our better days

And instead of thanks And praise We let hate – take us to our worst days – ay ay

Chorus

It is clear all is not well Too much hate in dominica

We caught in our own spells – that's why We cannot (are going) go nowhere

But we were not made for failure No matter what anybody say - god is good

We can break this spell we're under We have to find a way

The caribbean we must be as one But charity begins at home We know that long - but we lost our common sense

Our great hospitality Is for foreign residents While we killing all dominican confidence

We 've become spectators In our own development We play no part in our government

We accept victimization And intimidation And poverty – as our destiny

Chorus

But it is clear all is not well Too much hate in dominica

We caught in our own spells – that's why We cannot (are going) go nowhere

But we were not made for failure No matter what anybody say - god is good

We can break this spell we're under We have to find a way   The whole world is moving Toward reconciliation Charting their course out of this global crisis

Not we – we building walls Walls to block and divide us Promoting ignorance hate and selfishness

We are holding on To the things that keep us down Burying our heads in the sand

And it's a sad And unhealthy matter Knowing that - we have done better- in times before

Chorus

It is clear all is not well Too much hate in dominica

We caught in our own spells – that's why We cannot (are going) go nowhere

But we were not made for failure No matter what anybody say - god is good

We can break this spell we're under We have to find a way
