[|National Anthem]-O, land of the free by the carib sea,our manhood we pldge to thy liberty! No tyrants here linger, despots must flee this tranquil haven of democracy. the blood of our sires which hallows the sod, brought freedom from slavery oppression's rod, by the might of truth and the grace of God. No longer shall we be hewers of wood. Arise! Ye sona of the Baymen's clan, put on your armour, clear the land! Drive back the tyrants, let despots flee land of the free by the carib sea! Nature has blessed thee with wealth untold, O'er mountains and valleys where praries roll; Our fathers, the Baymen,valiant and bold drove back the invader; this heritage hold from proud Rio Hondo to old Sarstoon, Through coral isle, over blue lagoon; Keep watch with the angels, the stars and the moon; For freedom comes tomorrows noon. Arise! Ye sons of the Baymen's clan, put on your armour, clear the land! Drive bckth tyrants, let despotsflee, Land of the free by the carib sea!
