Dorcas M. Bennett

I am a Jamerican and
I am Educated
I am Jamerican and
I am very determined
I am Jamerican,
disciplined and dedicated
To please my countries, parents and my God!

I am a Jamerican Well-spoken, well-trained
And a through Bred!
Yes, please, and excuse me!
Thank You! Bless you! You are quite welcome:
Are only some of the creeds of these blessed lands!

I am a proud Jamerican
Trying to Achieve
Trying to conquer the dream
Of being the best and all that I can be
I am Jamerican ten-fold strong and moving along.

My grandparents, my parents and my family and relatives
All crossed the Caribbean Sea to accomplish the great American dream.
From Jamaica to the Big Apple; N.Y.C.
From the little Island where most dreams are impossible,
Only possible while one sleeps.

I am tall, strong and a powerful Jamerican
Willing to please both countries that have blessed me
With my deep rooted culture and many diverse opportunities.

I am a Proud Jamaican - American and I sing this song
Because I am glad, yes I am glad to be apart of the family of these two Blessed lands.
