Director's Statement: Miss Miami Carnival is not a beauty competition. It is an avenue for us as people of the Caribbean, as representatives of the Caribbean Diaspora to show the world the rich resource of talent that is Miss Miami Carnival Pageant.
Fairytale
Cinderella’s on her bedroom floor
she’s got a Crush on the guy at the liquor store
Cause Mr. Charming don’t come home anymore
And she forgets why she came here.
Sleeping Beauty’s in a foul mood for shame she says
None for you dear prince, I’m tired today.
I’d rather sleep my whole life away than have you keep me from dreaming
CHORUS
I don’t care for your fairytale
You’re so worried 'bout the maiden,
though you know she’s only waiting on the next best thing
Snow White is doing dishes again
Cause what else can you do
With seven itty bitty men?
Sends them to bed and she calls up a friend,
Says will you meet me at midnight.
The tall blonde lets out a cry of despair says
Would have cut it myself if I knew men could climb hair
I’ll have to find another tower somewhere and keep away from the windows.
CHORUS
I don’t care for your fairytale
You’re so worried 'bout the maiden,
though you know she’s only waiting on the next best thing
Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom, man made up a story
Said that I should believe him
Go and tell your white knight that he’s handsome in hindsight
but I don’t want the next best thing
So I sing and hold my head down and I break these walls 'round me
Can’t take no more of your fairytale love
CHORUS
I don’t care for your fairytale
You’re so worried bout the maiden,
though you know she’s used to waiting spent her whole life being graded on the
sanctity of patience and a dumb appreciation
The story needs some mending and a better happy ending ‘cause I don’t want the next best thing no no I don’t want the next best thing.

Lyrics:[excuse the gaps...i typed this while i was singing it..lol..and when I couldn't figure it out i left a gap. Wouldn't it be nice is someone did this for us?Tell patrice send it to me nah..]Ever walk through a grave yard
And the headstone bear no name
Live and die anonymous
Lord I wonder who that was
___Like a tomb For condemned
Unmarked what a shame
Came and went anonymous
Still wondering who that was
Some walk through on tip toe
Wouldn’t leave a stain
Forget other creatures
No memories remain
Of their void existence
You can’t find a trace
My creed yes my mission is to leave here a better place
Bridge 1
Truly the greatest thing that I fear [Oh na na]
Is to have lived and died and nobody know I was here
Like Mother Theresa or Joan of Ark
I’m determined to leave my mark
Chorus 1
I’m determined to be somebody
By Grace and my god above
I’m determined to be somebody
By work and the fount of love
I’m determined to be somebody
Verse 2
Mightn’t be like Einstein
E equal MC squared
He wasn’t anonymous
Everyone knows who he was
To invent like Edison
Just because he dared
He wasn’t anonymous
Everyone knows who he was
No, this blackened chicken
Can’t be lost in the maddening crowd
______Keep singing,
Young gifted and proud
Ill carve my destiny
Not by chance but my choice
The world won’t ignore me
You would remember my voice..Yeah
Bridge 2
Truly the saddest thing that I know
Is to have and come and gone and nobody care if you go
Putting roots or ___ a park
I’m determined to leave my mark
Chorus 2
I’m determined to be somebody
No matter how hard how poor
I’m determined to be somebody
The race is for who endures
I’m determined to be somebody
Verse 3
We can’t all be heroes at the end of the class
Half way anonymous
Somebody know who that was
But don’t have to be zeroes caught up in the mass
Vaguely anonymous
Tell me quick now who that was
Quiet desperation is how most will live
Remembered for what they have not for what they give
Some feel that a fortune will make them a superstar
But making a contribution is richer by far
Bridge 3
Surely the truest words ever said
The good that a man does lives on when he’s dead
Look after worm eats your bone
Your good deeds will be ____
If you want to be somebody
If you want to be somebody
The true measure of a man
If you want to be somebody
Is to lend a helping hand
If you want to be somebody
By grace and my god above
If you want to be somebody
By work and the fount of love
I’m determined to be somebody
No madder how hard how poor
I’m determined to be somebody
The race is for who endures
I’m determined to be somebody
Im determined
Im determined im determined yeah
Im determined Yeah
Im determined
Yeah

I found this on a website Wordle. It takes the most used words in your blog and makes it into a fingerprint for your blog. It was kinda surreal seeing what i rant about. Found myself checking out which ones i talked about less and more. Try it out. Its Interesting.Why "MATTER" u think? I don't recall using it that much. hmmm
I'm Clivia - a 40 something Tobagonian, passionate about many things - but at best - I'm a writer.
In my past life I was Brown Girl In the Ring - A Miami Carnival resource blog, but since Miami Carnival broke my heart (that's probably gonna be a blog post) I don't have the zeal or fire for it like I used to.
People evolve, interests evolve, and this is my outlet to share. You're welcome along for the ride!
