1. Oh thereâs a lovely island in the Caribbean Seas
   With cocoa, citrus, coconut and fine banana trees
   Thereâs arrowroot and sugarcane a waving in the breeze
   St. Vincent is its name{{more}}
REFRAIN
Weâre out to build a new St. Vincent
Weâre out to build a new St. Vincent
Weâre out to build a new St. Vincent
The futureâs in our hand
2. We must learn to kill our countryâs pests and rid her of their blight
   And while against these deadly foes
   We earnestly will fight
   Weâll not forget the other pest
    More deadly in their might
   That spoils St. Vincentâs name
3. The hate we bear within our hearts the grudge that never ends
   The envy, greed and selfishness, the pride that never bends
   The ugly self that keeps us back from saying âletâs be friendsâ
   These spoil St. Vincentâs name
4. God has a plan for everyone, for me as well as you
   To rebuild this little island till itâs altogether new
   So men and women boys and girls thereâs work for us to do
   To build St. Vincentâs name
