Jamaica, share your muse with me

I want to feel it too

I look out from the balcony

Of the Sandals Royal Caribbean

Over your steady landscape

And I wonder..

Why are we running away?

Today

As we walked hand in hand

Seeing everything you had to show us

And hearing your subtle drumbeats

I felt it in the gap-toothed grins

Of the people you call your's

And I realized

I've never lived a moment on my own

Oh there are walls around this island

That they don't see

And they protect us from all the things

We checked at the entrance

And I know life will be waiting right where I left it

And I'm so tired of being afraid

An old man smiled at me today

And it stoped me in my tracks

Because I could tell

In a shared look between us

In the way he nodded his head

And it shook me to my core

He knows

Maybe everyone does

I think I am alone

Jamaica, hold me closely

Because I don't know where I am
