"Forward" lyrics
My mother come from bout yah
My father come from bout yah
My sister come from bout yah
My bredda come from bout yah
My preacher come from bout yah
My teacher come from bout yah
My leader come from bout yah
So we all in this together
We moving forward and we'll never look back
Yea God almighty have we pon di right track
So if yuh slip and stumble get up right back
Show them the power of the green the gold and black
If yuh love Jamaica wave dem wave dem
Wave and send some praise up to heaven
Yo mister wave dem wave dem
Put up yuh flag inna di air and wave dem
Yo mister wave dem wave dem
Peace sign up inna di air like eleven
A mister wave dem Jamaica wave dem
Love we a deal with no war yah mi friend
Look how far we coming from
We faced nuff trials and tribulation
Now we country it build back strong
We soon dash weh the king from over England
Yo mister welcome one and all
Come let us party let us have a ball
We're going forward and we nah stall
Bruck dung every barrier like China wall
Yo mister follow me
Put your shoulder to the wheel
Any man weh nuh wah work nuffi get a meal
Mi wah guh a heart guh learn a skill
Cause one day mi affi buy a house pon di hill
Red stripe nice and chill
Tourist a fly down a spend nuff mill
The best beaches fi yuh dive in
Then you sit down and watch the horizon
So mister wave dem wave dem
Jamaica send some praise up to heaven
Yo mister wave dem wave dem
Put up yuh flag inna di air and wave dem
A mister wave dem wave dem
Peace sign up inna di air like eleven
A mister wave dem Jamaica wave dem
Love we a deal with no war yah mi friend
Yo united we stand and divided we fall
We're the young and the restless, the large and the small
United we stand and divided we fall
No more dark days, no mother nuffi ball
When we put aside politics fi a little bit
And nuh man nah run guh fi no mopstick
Every town, every land, and every district
A celebrate life, nobody not even a get sick
So mister wave dem wave dem
Jamaica send some praise up to heaven
Yo mister wave dem wave dem
Put up yuh flag inna di air and wave dem
A mister wave dem wave dem
Peace sign up inna di air like eleven
A mister wave dem Jamaica wave dem
Love we a deal with no war yah mi friend
My father come from bout yah
My sister come from bout yah
My bredda come from bout yah
My preacher come from bout yah
My teacher come from bout yah
My leader come from bout yah
So we all in this together
We moving forward and we'll never look back
Yea God almighty have we pon di right track
So if yuh slip and stumble get up right back
Show them the power of the green the gold and black
If yuh love Jamaica wave dem wave dem
Wave and send some praise up to heaven
Yo mister wave dem wave dem
Put up yuh flag inna di air and wave dem
Yo mister wave dem wave dem
Peace sign up inna di air like eleven
