St.

Vincent Land so Beautiful

Saint Vincent! Land so beautiful,
With joyful hearts we pledge to thee
Our loyalty and love, and vow
To keep you ever free.

Chorus
Whate'er the future brings,
Our faith will see us through.
May peace reign from shore to shore,
And God bless and keep us true.

Hairoun! Our fair and blessed Isle,

Your mountains high, so clear and green,
Are home to me, though I may stray,
A haven, calm, serene.

Our little sister islands are

Those gems, the lovely Grenadines,
Upon their seas and golden sands
The sunshine ever beams.

St. Vincent my homeland

You give me no mansion
No gold, no diamond
Yet, I love you a million
For the things that you have to offer
Is more than my heart’s desire
Lovely beach, tropical breeze
Always There, Within My Reach

I love you St. Vincent

Me sweet little island St. Vincent
I love you St. Vincent
Home of the blessed St. Vincent
St. Vincent
St. Vincent
I Love You

Can look at the sunrise

Can look at the sunset
Sweet mother nature
Such beauty, such splendor
Can live my life without fear
Freedom to gooo anywhere
You got love
And you got peace
From La Soufriere
To the Grenadines

Calypso and reggae

To make me jiggae
Bamboo melody
Pan in harmony
Nine Morning, Christmas, And Carnival
Youuu got so much bacchanal
Whaling time, is anytime
And anytime, is whaling time

Mango, guava jelly

Early morning fish tea
Coconut water
Farene and zabouka
Pelau, crayfish, and callaloo
Souse, dumplin, and manicou
Roast breadfruit
Blackfish krips
And much much more, deliciousness
We’re Out to Build a New St. Vincent – by
Ebenezer Duncan
1. Oh there’s a lovely island in the
Caribbean Seas
With cocoa, citrus, coconut and fine
banana trees
There’s arrowroot and sugarcane a waving
in the breeze
St. Vincent is its name{{more}}
REFRAIN
We’re out to build a new St. Vincent
We’re out to build a new St. Vincent
We’re out to build a new St. Vincent
The future’s in our hand
2. We must learn to kill our country’s pests
and rid her of their blight
And while against these deadly foes
We earnestly will fight
We’ll not forget the other pest
More deadly in their might
That spoils St. Vincent’s name
3. The hate we bear within our hearts the
grudge that never ends
The envy, greed and selfishness, the pride
that never bends
The ugly self that keeps us back from
saying let’s be friends
These spoil St. Vincent’s name
4. God has a plan for everyone, for me as
well as you
To rebuild this little island till it’s
altogether new
So men and women boys and girls there’s
work for us to do
To build St. Vincent’s name
Our Nation is born – Kenneth Vibrating
Scakes Alleyne
INTRO
We are all moving on together
So we must now plan collectively for a
brighter day
No one knows whaT’s in store for the
future
True dedication can get us there
1. Independence is a milestone
In our march to prosperity
Now St. Vincent and the Grenadines
Has a real nationality
We are a nation of many races
And has tried to integrate
The strength of so many faces
Shall bear the prospects of our fate
CHORUS
So in this moment of history tell it in every
community
Our nation is born colonialism is gone
This is a time of national freedom so share
a love with someone
The 27th dawn, of October our nation is
born
One history, one ecstasy, one destiny for
all ah we
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
2. While we take this stand as a nation
Let us not forget our past
For this future we praise our heroes
Who fought slavery to the last
Special honors to Marcus Garvey
His sacrifice gave us all a chance
And all the men who fought in this century
To bring us this day of independence
3. Though some manipulate the franchise
Of world adult suffrage
There’s still hope of a bright tomorrow
For all the under-privilege
Let love excel our wishes
Our advancement needs plenty of work
Remember back is death for the nation
That upholds less action and lots of talk
4. My people join hand in hand now
Put your differences aside
Get your hearts and soul together
We got to build this nation with pride
Work in harmony with good leaders
Never elect no one here to rule
Then we can feel at home like good
comrades
Our people must not be election tools
Let’s join hands
Let’s join hands and show we love
St.Vincent.
Let’s join hands and show that we care.
Boys and girls we join with one another.
For our country that we love so dear.
Let us raise our voices in thanksgiving
For the many blessings that have come our
way.
Let’s join hands and show we love St.
Vincent
On independence day.
