LYRICS :
Verse 1
Would U take care of this world,
When I’m gone for a while
Wouldd you tend to all da things,
So dear to my heart
Like da sun and da moon,
And da stars in the sky
Wouldde shine on my way,
When I return to this place
And O’ yes this’s da place where it all began
And O’ yes this’s da place where the fire was lit
And da flame that’s been carried all along
What a diff’rence this has made,
Across the universe
Yes, this is more than just a game
More than just fortune and fame
More than just Gold, Silva and Bronze
This is about the spirit of all humanity
Would you help me to keep and to sustain
Would you lend me hand to carry on
Would you help me to deliver this now
This message and da spirit of this endeavour
Would you keep all of da circles unbroken
Would you keep all of da rings so entwined
And keep da fire burnin’ and keep da fire burnin’
Chorus
Day after day, keep da fire burnin’
Keep da flame glowin’ and celebrate humanity
Keep da fire burnin’ for now and for ever
Keep da spirit growin’ hour after hour
Keep da fire burning, celebrate humanity
When you walk, when you run,
Ev’ry minute, ev’ry second
Year after year, keep da fire burnin’
Today and tomorrow, keep da fire burnin’
Burnin’, burnin’, burnin’, burnin’
Burnin’, burnin’, burnin’, burnin’
Olympic Reggae Hymn
Verse 2
Oh, what a wonderful world this will be
If we deliver this message
To the generations to come
‘Yond ev’ry mountain
And across da seven seas
When we pass on this flame
To da world that’s unborn
Would you teach ev’ry person
To protect, to uphold
This spirit of da game and da eternal flame
And will you care, will you share, will you dare
Will you reach out and touch
Ev’ry race and ev’ry creed
Dark clouds are gathering around us
Hard winds are blowin’ across
It’s cold and it’s dark many a times
But there’s a reason for all of us to believe
There’s a flame that’ll light up the skies
And the universe and show us da way
It’ll help us to bring them all together
Not just for a day or for an hour
Come rain, come sunshine or otha
It’ll keep us all together for eva
And experience da universal bond
And experience da universal bond
