Verse 1
Where they came from
The people would like to know
They came as protection
For Trinidad
and Tobago
Now known as the Pan,
They took every
form
Created steel band, yes - out of the
norm
It was considered, an endangered specie
The colonial masters, then became angry
They couldn’t believe
What they was hearing;
Music coming from ole pitch oil tin
The melodies was echoing, just like
violin.
Chorus
The gods of the unknown
is the steel pan
So they saying, God is a Trini
Hear dem say, God is a Trini
The gods of the unknown from this island
Hear they saying
God is a Trini, God
is a Trini
If a storm coming, dat ent nothing
The
people does boast
God is a Trini, God
is a Trini
When it start forming, see them jumping
Feteing from coast to coast, God is a
Trini, God is a Trini
The steel pan came from heaven
They
say, yay yay yay
God won’t send no hurricane
down dey, no
God is a Trini - so they say
God is a
Trini, everyday
God is a Trini, are you sure
God is
a Trini, tell me more.
Verse 2
The birth of this
pan
The intervention of guided hands
A miracle creation
By the gods of this
unknown band
They journey to the earth
To safeguard
La Trinity
Got into the minds
Of Ellie Mannette
and Winston Spree
They started to create
From an invisible
slate
Notes already debate, notes already
relate
It was de gods designing dey plan
To make
sure they cover this land
These instruments, Harps of Gold
Known
as the steel pan… yeah
Chorus
Verse 3
If we don’t appreciate
What the gods have done for we
Then ‘God is a Trini’
…Will be God - we
worse enemy
We still have some time
To stop all
this crime
With this instrument
That the gods
invent
Doh ray me far so la te doh ray me
Te la far so ray, hear what the gods
say
The steel pan is for all mankind;
No country
must be left behind
The gods of the unknown
They not color
blind…no
Chorus 3
The gods
of the unknown is the steel pan
So
they saying God is a Trini

God is a
Trini (O Lord)
The gods of the unknown from this island
Hear, they saying, God is a Trini
God

If a storm coming, dat ent nothing
The
