VERSE 1

Equal rights and justice
Is our everlasting song.
Unity and progress
Will make our nation strong

CHORUS:

Stand up for your rights when you hear the bell,
Stand up for justice -
Hear the freedom bell. Remember Bustamante,
He served you well -
Stand up Jamaicans - when you hear the bell
Stand up Jamaicans - when you hear the bell.

VERSE 2

Stand up sons and daughters,
Your only hope is in the bell.
God will guide our progress,
And make our nation strong

CHORUS:

Stand up for your rights when you hear the bell,
Stand up for justice -
Hear the freedom bell. Remember Bustamante,
He served you well -
Stand up Jamaicans - when you hear the bell
Stand up Jamaicans - when you hear the bell.
