Bahamas people give thanks to God…
for surviving the age of slavery's cord
Blacks and whites simmer peacefully as one…
in the mist of the racism gun
Bahamas people praise the lord…
descendants of slaves and masters in accord
Bahamas people are happy and proud…
to God the Father they sing aloud
Bahamas people depict the globe…
living as one in their ethnic robes
Bahamas people enjoy being free…
turning back will never be
Bahamas people is a melting pot…
singing and dancing and whatnot
