A beauty rests upon these isles Silent in peaceful hues A beauty painted in shades of life Pastels of ships and crews A beauty rests upon these isles Found deep in hearts and minds A beauty that grows and spreads its wings Alight on faith and joy to find As mangroves spread their roots of life For generations yet to be So islanders spread their love Spawned from earth and sea Here, time has no place Nor are shadows cast For light abounds in all that’s seen And what lies hidden in isles’ ancient past What you see is not of earth But of souls of those who live Love is what rules this realm A single pulse of those who give Routine will not be found Haste will have no place Ease is all you’ll find Nature in all her grace
