QUESTION about: The National Heroes Song Of Jamaica
ANSWER: by Wellesley Gayle, originally posted 6/2/09
Hi Narisha,
Here (below) is the song.
I don't know the author either, but will definitely do further research for you.
Update 6/11/09. Still no positive word Narisha, I went as far as to check with the National Library of Jamaica (NLJ) and they admitted they don't have a record of the author either, although they are aware of the song.
Jamaica National Heroes Song:
Forward, Forever United Which We Seek You Seek
Chorus: Forward, forever united
Students workers and farmers
1. Granny Nanny of Nanny Town
symbol of unity and strength
lighted the flame of freedom
in the hearts of earlier Jamaicans
Chorus
2. Sam Sharpe, non-violent leader
instigated the slaves of Jamaica
to fight for freedom and liberty
and throw off the shackles of slavery
Chorus
3. George William Gordon, far-seeing statesman
struggled for human rights and dignity
he was unjustly executed
for raising his voice against oppression
Chorus
4. Paul Bogle of Stony Gut
fought against oppression and deception
leader, preacher, and martyr
he died in the cause of justice
Chorus
5. Marcus Mosiah Garvey
fighter of Black Man's dignity
throughout every nation
he gave all black man a dream
Chorus
6. Patriot Norman Manley
made politics an instrument of progress
father of the nation
man of integrity and justice
Chorus
7. Alexander Bustamante
a legendary figure in his lifetime
indomitable labor leader
first Prime Minister of Jamaica
Final chorus
Forward forever united
Jamaica united forever
Stay in touch Shelly.
