Original Lyrics in English
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, tho’ the weather
Hide the wide and treacherous shoal.
Lift up your head to the rising sun, Bahama land,
‘Til the road you’ve trod
Lead unto your God,
March on, Bahama land.
