- Lift up your head to the rising sun, Bahama Land!
- March on to glory, your bright banners waving high.
- See how the world marks the manner of your bearing!
- Pledge to excel through love and unity.
- Pressing onward, march together
- To a common loftier goal;
- Steady sunward, though the weather
- Hide the wide and treacherous shoal.
- Lift up your head to the rising sun, Bahama Land;
- Till the road you have lead unto your God...
- March on, Bahamaland!
