LAND WE LOVE: JAMAICA - Bunny Rugs (of Third World) - Official Video
It's not every day a nation celebrates 50 years of independence. Accordingly, it's not every day the defining voice of the nation's most successful pop reggae band since the 1980s gets to make a personal contribution. "Land We Love" is a modern day praise song in the timeless soulful reggae tradition written and performed by Bunny Rugs, lead singer of Third World. Although performed by Rugs, "Land We Love" speaks for the nation. "Jamaicans we are number one," he sings, "world leaders and champions, prophets and musicians". Assisted by Dean Fraser's breezy saxophone solos, Bunny Rugs puts a special spin on independence and a lot of love in the dance and through your speakers with "Land We Love". "Land We Love" was mixed by Stephen Stanley, recorded at Grafton Studios
The proceeds from LAND WE LOVE will go the benefit the Jamaica Childrens Heart Fund / Chain of Hope . The single will be available digitally on August 28 via VP Records.

LYRICS:
There's a land not so far away
Where the sun keep shinning all through the day
And this land that we all love
God gave us the wood and the water
Blessed by the moon and stars above
Sweet, sweet Jamaica
Beautiful Jamaica
Everyday feels like a holiday
Sweet reggae music playing
From Negril to Morant Bay
Sweet, sweet Jamaica
Oh Jamaica
Irie, irie, irie Jamaica
Sweet Jamaica our land we love
Jamaicans we are number one
World leaders and champions
Prophets and musicians
Out of many we are one
Sweet, sweet Jamaica
Beautiful Jamaica
Whoooooo Jamaica
Sweet Jamaica is the land of love
There's a land not so faraway
Where the sun keep shinning all through the day
And this land that we all love
God gave us the wood and the water
Blessed by the moon and stars above
About the Jamaica Childrens Heart Fund / Chain Of Hope
Since 1997 both Sir Magdi Yacoub-Pres. COHUK and Dr Richard Perryman-
Chairman-JCHF(USA) along with their medical teams, have been at the
forefront of donating their skills and time cost free, to save the
lives of over 700+ needy Jamaican children and adolescents. In 2007
Chain of Hope Jamaica was launched, as a registered charity in Jamaica
with an office based at Bustamante Children's Hospital, Kingston. The
main aim of the charity is to support the establishment of a
self-sustained pediatric cardiac program at the Hospital, enabling the
local Jamaican cardiac team trained in the UK by COH to perform
surgeries.
Gift of Life Int'l NY and Rotarians have been amazing in both support
and sponsorship of the program. Over the past three-plus decades GOL
has provided the means to save the lives of more than 12,000 children.
These children have come from 64 countries on 6 continents, including
Jamaica. All funds donated to this effort go directly to GOL NY.
