Anguilla we love,
You are our richly home,
You are our sun our only hope when dark clouds and heavy rains come,
With shiny brows and wet dripped clothes still mark our days just now
Dark nights with stars they count our hope
It is love for you, we must, we will.
Anguilla we trust
For you are, our hopeful place
Forbearers fought, they stood the test they worked with little rest
Fingers bruised, hot blood running veins gorged and race pumping heart
They fetch a shade from the sun
Anguilla you are our hope it’s you we love,
Anguilla we fail
Like heavy rain, we destroy your worth when selfish branches cloud our minds
We fill our soul, our domain, our space with bounty goods of naught
Quick then, we find the truth, alas
And hasten resolve, a lesson taught
Anguilla we love. We must preserve our past
Anguilla we share
Our love, the past the present and all we are, we share our dreams and plans for then
Our culture woven, our forefathers carved, defines our human rainbow from East to West,
Our dish, the food, our drink the wine were made that we survive, this knowledge kept
Our culture lives and makes us who we are,
Anguilla we love, Anguilla we care.
Anguilla we love
You will always be home, horizons we travel, domains we made but home is always there
You gave us all, mountains we claim and depths achieved, yes we can, yes we can
So sleep I will and wake I must to keep serene your beauty lust
And share your good with many afar
Anguilla we love you, Anguilla for all.
Anguilla we love
And time no longer defines our worth, the power of self preserve still stands,
The hands of steel undaunted by fear and minds imbrued the same,
Our forefathers fought and battles won, gave birth to purpose their jobs well done,
The bells of freedom and justice must ring,
For all who dwell and call Anguilla home.
