<blockquote>
O, land of the free by the carib Sea, <br />
our manhood we pledge to thy liberty!<br />
No tyrants here linger, despots must flee<br />
This tranquil haven of democracy<br />
The blood of our sires which hallows the sod,<br />
Brought freedom from slavery oppression's rod,<br />
By the might of truth and the grace of God.<br />
No longer shall we be hewers of wood.<br />
<br />
Arise! ye sons of the Baymen's clan,<br />
put on your armour, clear the land!<br />
Drive back the tyrants, let despots flee-<br />
Land of the Free by the Carib Sea!<br />
<br />
Nature has blessed thee with wealth untold,<br />
O'er mountains and valleys where praries roll;<br />
Our fathers, the Baymen, valiant and bold<br />
Drove back the invader; this heritage hold<br />
From proud Rio Hondo to old Sarstoon'<br />
Through coral isle, over blue lagoon;<br />
Keep watch with the angels, the stars and moon;<br />
For freedom comes tomorrow's noon.
