Lyrics

IO we salute this land of oursOur country we declareThis promise land with its beauties grandThough small it is our own

Turks & Caicos, Turks & CaicosOur country firm and freeOur allegiance Turks & CaicosWe pledge and we affirm.

IIOur people forged and blendWith multiplicityOf race and kind and creed and tongueUnited by our goals

From the east, west, north and south Our banks and oceans meetSurrounding sands and hills of gleeOur pristine beauties see

IIIWe stand with courage braveTo maintain this land of oursWith Islands scattered here and thereWith trust in God we stand
