I am from a land of sunshine
A land I always call mine
It's a land where the sky is always blue
A land so beautiful you'd have no clue
Until you go there yourself
I am from a land of slaves
a land of graves
It's a land born out of rebellions
A land sculpted out of battalions
I am from a land of bravery
Of men not afraid of treachery
I come from La Perle Des Antilles
I come from the Pride of the Carribean Sea
I come from a land of poverty
A land of hunger, cruelty and adversity
A land that has fallen
I come from a place everyone hates
A place criticized, scorned, laughed at
I come from a land of hope
of a beautiful, tenacious people
who will rise again
