My island lies o'er the ocean - Amata Kabua

My island lies o'er the ocean;
Like a wreath of flowers upon the sea;


With the light of the Maker from far above;
Shining with the brilliance of rays of life;

Our Father's wondrous creation;
Bequeathed to us, our motherland;
I'll never leave my dear home sweet home;
God of our forefathers
Protect and bless forever Marshall Islands.

Amata Kabua (1928 - 1996) Marshall Islands
