Jamaica`s Greatest Olympians




You have the heart to face the track
So as a people we must support you
We have your back
Because you are Jamaica`s greatest Olympians

Shellyann Frazer-Pryce
You let us feel nice
Veronica Campbell-Brown
You continue to hold your ground
Asafa, prepare for the next time around
Injuries will not stop us from celebrating
Precious moments like these
Because you are Jamaica`s greatest Olympians

Bridgette, it`s not over yet
Melaine, nobody knows your pain
Sherone, we know you will do it back again
We all felt terrified
And we are sorry for those
Who did not qualified
But you are all true champions because
You are Jamaica`s greatest Olympians

Bolt and Blake, your names are already written
On the Olympic cake
All others who made it through
Jamaica say well done
And we are proud of you because
You are Jamaica`s greatest Olympians

Each time the flag fly
Each smile or teardrop from your eyes
We share with you the glory and the pain
You are true champions
You will continue to reign because
You are Jamaica`s greatest Olympians
