Anguilla My Home
Forged in the flames of adversity – see them
Our ancestors noble and brave
Through war and through famine
Midst suffering, dying
They struggled, they wept, they prayed
“Lord, through the storm into a new day
Please guide our land, Anguilla
End all oppression, prosper our nation –
Anguilla, our home”
Standing alone in the struggle for freedom
Pursuing a dream bold and bright
Creating hope for unborn generations
They prayed through the fears of the night
The desert is blooming, the coral is paradise
Daylight has captured our dream
But as homes die, and greed blinds, and crimes rise
Our hearts cry, “Lord, help us, our hope is in Thee”
Anguilla, you flow through my veins
Anguilla, land of my birth
Anguilla, see the dawn through the storm,live on
I believe your children will conquer the darkness,
Let truth shatter chains and set free
Endure as the homeland our forefathers treasured
Be all that’s endeared us to thee
Crime is the price of prosperity
Who say so? Who say so?
Ain’ gon lose my soul to gain the world – not me!
No way, Jose’!
With my might I’ll fight the night with the light
For my beloved country
Faith, love, and peace must reign
Your name is music to my heart
Anguilla
Coming home to you makes joy bells start
Ringing! Ringing!
Morn and eve on my knees I cry,
“Please show mercy to my beloved country
Amen! Amen! Amen!”
“Lord, through the storm into a new day
Please guide our land, Anguilla
End all oppression, prosper our nation
Anguilla, my home
My beloved country! This is my home!
