Distilled Jamaican Anthem Part 2 Teach Us True Respect For All for our workers are all important, our farmers, our artisans our women at the stove, our women at the mill, our women who birthed us, our teachers, lawyers, doctors, and the men with axes, yard cutters, fishermen, bakers, drivers, politicians Stir Response To Duty Call that our hearts be not faint, nor our minds become lazy that our flesh be not weak, and our loins be firm to bare the load of home, community, country, and will to share to give our all and never complain of being ever weary. Strengthen Us The Weak To Cherish for we were naked too, and homeless, stereotyped, accused and we are the poor, the uneducated, the exploited, the sick give us strong compassion, resources mental and economic that open prison bars with love, and comfort well the abused. Give Us Vision Less We Perish to know the present and where its coming from, and to know where we are going, and why we have chosen the path we take father guide us to best choices, and not the easy ones to make and wealth is multiplied may our vision not hide you in the flow. Knowledge Send Us Heavenly Father, from the person in the hovel, fromm the man in the street, and from the child who no experience blinds the alternative eye from the student, and the master, from angels through the sky and your holy spirit, o god give us back bones worthy to stand. Grant True Wisdom From Above. and may we find it devoted to love Justice, Truth be ours forever, Jamaica, land we love. Jamaica, Jamaica, Jamaica land we love.
