National Anthem of Belize LAND OF THE FREE Lyrics by Samuel Haynes Music by Selwyn Walford Young O, Land of the free by the Carib Sea, Our manhood we pledge to thy liberty No tyrants here linger, despot must flee This tranquil haven of democracy The blood of our sires which hollows the sod, Brought freedom from slavery oppression's rod By the might of truth and the grace of God. No longer shall we be hewers of wood. Chorus: Arise! Ye sons of the Baymen's clan, Put on your armours, clear the land! Drive back the tyrants let despots flee- Land of the free by the Carib Sea! Nature has blessed thee with wealth untold, O'er mountains and valleys where prairies roll; Our fathers, the Baymen, valiant and bold Drove back the invaders; this heritage hold From proud Rio Hondo to old Sarstoon, Through coral isle,over blue lagoon; Keep watch with the angels, the stars and moon; For freedom comes to-morrow's noon. Chorus:
