Our skies, yielding grief
As a soca icon passes on;
Bidding goodbye in disbelief
All those songs rekindled;
This March sky, yielding grief.
Young and old and in between,
Remembering a refrain or motif;
He chose to render to his fans,
While building in no way brief,
A legacy, to culture and art form;
Soca, this March, yielding grief.
