Holy Land

Agriculture is the growing of plants and the rearing of animals,
For the use of their production

Chorus:
Till up the soil on the farm let us chant and plant
Holy holy land Rasta say blessed is the hand of the man who work the land Holy holy land

Oh farmers of the rising sun I see the work and the deeds you have done
From spring, summer, winter on to autumn
You just plant up the land and make the crops them come

Chorus

A country without food won't have a strong backbone,
Because we can't nyam the buildings and we can't nyam the stones
Agriculture is the key in any country
Cause we can't eat the machinery nor the paper money

Chorus

Six o'clock in the morning farmer pick up his tool
Head for the top of the hills where the stream run so cool
Mullet and the jangas swimming in the pool
Him got five she goats and a dozen black rams
Him got acres of banana, herbs and yam
Land preparation set up the irrigation,
Food in abundance let us feed the nation
No malnutrition in the population,
A lot of food for all exportation
