[Intro:]
The moment we've all been waiting for
It's here again, Jamaica's Olympic team going for the gold
In Olympics, It's gonna be so amazing amazing
Jamaicans blazing blazing going for the glory ina Beijing
[Chorus:]
We've been waiting so long for this moment
Now it's here for the world to see
All the power we have as a nation
And the will that we have to achieve
We will rise up to the occasion
And by the grace of god we will lead
Humbled we'll be by the victory
And gracious we'll be in defeat
[Verse 1:]

When we flag rise pon di pole and we collect di gold
To how we fight them know we come fi it
Ano drugs we a tek, a di food weh we eat

Mek we run wid the speed of a soupe up machine.
[Chorus:]

And the will that we have to achieve
We will rise up to the occasion
And by the grace of god we will lead
Humbled we'll be by the victory
And gracious we'll be in defeat
