SVG Will Rise

I am true bred Vincentian
But it hurts my heart to see
The segregation among us daily
Brothers against brothers
Families fighting each other down
Everyday political disunity
On the streets of SVG
Economic hardship all over the world
That put our backs up against the wall
But we canât let we country fall{{more}}
We have to unite, come together and stick through it all
And St Vincent will rise
St Vincent will rise
St Vincent will rise again
St Vincent will rise
St Vincent will rise
St Vincent will rise again
Through education ( we will rise)
Strong leadership and dedication ( we will rise)
Agriculture diversification ( we will rise)
Technological and new job creation
St Vincent will rise St Vincent will rise again
I remember growing up as a boy
I watched my parents toil and toil
Loyalty and commitment
What humility they displayed
Put differences aside
Make every sacrifice
Its up to you and me I say, to carry that torch today
We cannot live in the past
We have to act now and move fast
Though it might be difficult to conceive
We have to hold fast, stay strong, stand firm and believe.
As a united people
We will never stumble
If we uncerstand our history
We can plot and plan our destiny
St Vincent will rise St Vincent will rise again.
To move forward with this nation
We must follow our ancestorâs legacy and dedication
Courage, integrity, and daily prayers to the Almighty
The youths they are our future
We must empower and strengenthen their endeavors.
Teach them how to live and their brothers keeper
With a strong foundation we will recover
Yes we can make it through any weather
But we have to bond together as one
With one heart, one voice, and one song
In times of disaster
Lend a hand to your neighbour
Show some love to your sister
Respect and appreciate her
St Vincent will rise St Vincent will rise again.
