      This is Jamaica

      By Peter Gracey


      This is Jamaica!

      This is my country.

      A son of this island,

      A daughter of this land.


      Fearless of fear,

      I stand in awe.

      Only love prevails,

      Secured in God's hands.


      This is Jamaica!

      Where Joy cometh in the morn'.

      Surrounded by mystic waters,

      Crashing unto the shores - where only heroes are born.


      Only if you knew Jamaica as well as I do...,

      Then you would utter!

      I love you Jamaica,

      God knows, I Do!


      This is Jamaica!

      A simple speck in the universe.

      Our hearts beat and pulse in every nation,

      But only second to The Kingdom of God - We put Jamaica first.


      I am Jamaican!

      Regardless of where you may find me.

      Black, Green and Gold is the marrow in my bones.

      so If I die away from my island,

      I pray to God, you'll take me home.
