Bahamas National Anthem: March On Bahamaland

"March On, Bahamaland," a beautiful song composed by Timothy Gibson, became the national anthem of the Bahamas in 1973.

Lift up your head

to the rising sun,

Bahamaland;

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, Bahamaland,

'Til the road you've trod

lead unto your God,

March On, Bahamaland.
