Written by Kernal Roberts
Performed by Patrice Roberts & Machel Montano

[verse 1]
{Patrice & Machel}
Lights of love
Leh we shine those lights together
Show me the lights of peace
Leh we shine through any weather
Lights of hope
Leh we shine those lights forever
Tell dem to leh go de rope, leh go de rope, leh go de rope
We say, leh we jump and break away
Now leh we light it up like it was Independence Day

[chorus]
Leh me see yuh light up de air [x4]
And when we reach by de square
Like fire flys in de air
Ah wuh yuh light up, light up, light up, woe yo
Leh me see yuh light up de air [x4]
And when we reach by de square
We go explode like a flare
Ah wuh yuh light up, light up, light up, woe yo

[verse 2]
{Patrice}
Show me a sign if de road's on your mind
Cause we love it when we following those broken white lines
We spreading out everywhere
We warming up in St Clair
Down to Independence Square (we light go it up)
Make up yuh mind, cause this is one of a kind
And we love it when we soaking in de burning sunshine
From Bacchanal Wednesday night is when we does feel de hype
De city does get so bright (we light go it up)
{Machel}
Start up yuh helicopter
Call up yuh charter plane
No waiting by de savannah
Is back to de streets again
When we reach out on de road
Ah want yuh to go insane
Everybody light it up like Independence Day

[repeat chorus]

[verse 3]
{Patrice}
Strike up a pose, cause we now in we glee
And we love it when we posse make it on de TV
It's de opportunity, to play mas inclusively
De universe watching we (we light go it up)
Nobody knows dat the road is de key
And de spirit of de Carnival just compliments we
It's a natural synergy of tempo and energy
Dat living inside ah we (we light go it up)
{Machel}
We coming to take de road
And we not watching no face
We going and light it up
Anywhere we find a s___e
Throw yuh flags dem in de air
And start to mash up de place
Everybody light it up like Independence Day

[repeat chorus]
