Strict Guardians Of Our Heritage

Sovereignty has been in question recently

The Maritime laws, Fishing Rights and Aliens immigrating illegally

Roads are redone and renamed and given roundabouts

In times of rains our Water resources still experience droughts

Calls for flyovers. Why? They expect to see some uh we flying?

They’ve broaden highways, now they got, young ATV drivers trying

Got obstructive boulders at a local beach access

Unauthorized gates preventing social progress

And lots of local businesses being gradually bought out

Rich investors and foreigners exerting fiscal clout

Developers removing small neighborhoods that they may

Install Ovals, Gated Communities and Golf Courses one day

All our historic squares and statues are being switch around

Nelson is not in Trafalgar Square and Sir Garry was brought to town

So what then do we guard so strictly

Or what is our pride, strength and unity?

For years I too sung the Anthem, proud with every word

Out in public I sung at attention, even when it seemed absurd

Under distinct political loyalties, we never riot in the street

Racial polarity exists but we still socialize when we meet

Have games with each other and we may even marry

Equality though in question, our interracial society is healthy

Religious buildings are as many as the days in a year

In spite of diverse denominations, we have no civil warfare

The nation wept together during disasters and pain

At Brittons Hill help came from all, no race chose to abstain 

Globally, Bajans preserve “Back home” with generous patronage
