Tribute to Our Jamaican Athletes
Our hearts are in our hands
The Jamaican pride rises above the land
The flag flies high and we listen to our anthem play another time
We shower them with praises when they grab the medals
We lift them up when they have fallen
They have shown their strength in the field events
They have flown over the hurdles that stand in their path
The determination on their faces sets them miles apart
What a blessing our athletes are to our aching Jamaican hearts
Divided we are in many areas of life
But our athletes stand in their blocks and unite the nation regardless of what we may lack
The speed they have pushes them past the rest
No one can ever doubt that they are the best
Some are disappointed but let us tell them not to fret
Olympics is coming up next
The sweat runs down their faces but they remain cool as ice
Never a fear in their eyes
Watch the black,green and gold continue to rise
We are Jamaicans! We always fight with all our might
Training from morning and even through the night
We are so proud of them!
We stand in the street and scream and jump when they take the lead
Our athletes are the heartbeats of our beautiful island
