The year of Jubilee
Let the trumpets sound
Let the guns salute
Freedom for the slave, debts released
Whilst nobility sits imprisoned by a
crown of jewels
Land returned, laid to rest
Lady enthroned bearing the weight of
expectation
For the year of Jubilee has come
Wish her long life as she strives on
A time to look back on service
rendered
A time to reclaim honour and respect
Does anyone really know the toll it
has taken?
Consecrate the year, let us celebrate
A family rejoices, grateful it wasn’t
their burden
A nation looks on with pride
Do the will of God, let his decrees
be obeyed
Call a
feast, raise a cup - it’s the year of Jubilee

So true, Joe: Does anyone really know the toll it has taken?
