- Anthem Lyrics
- 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 thro' 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.
