Needless to say At de front middle and by de door Blended voices screamed loud Encore Encore! They were Clapping over and over again The Queen had begun her Reign! Through the years Her voice got better This Queen of the stage Known as Singing Sandra Began her journey With power and grace dominating every place When she performed it was a Musical Storm Of Spritual Might An angelic voice in full flight Her stage presence Was of such class It may never be surpassed Her attire began to change To me it was nothing strange Her affinity love and respect for Africa Shone like a Beacon From Singing Sandra ‘VOICES FROM THE GHETTO’ Mourn this Queen A leader A Calypso Preacher A Super Human Being She gave of her best Everytime tuh we And absolutely … DIED WITH HER DIGNITY.
