Grenada, I’ll never leave you
You’ll always stay here in my heart
All my dreams will be island dreams
Whenever we are apart

Diamond lights of St George’s
Sweet-scented spice of your air
Call me back to see you again
The longing is so hard to bear

Blue horizons and rainbows
Red roofs and sun-laden hills
Make me sigh with a wistful eye
Your beauty’s always a thrill

Rolling waves of Levera
Golden sands of Grand Anse
People smile, little babies laugh
My heart stands nary a chance

Carriacou, how I miss you
Your big drums dance in my soul
How I seek Petite Martinique
Going home is my goal

All my dreams will be island dreams
All my dreams will be Grenada dreams
All my dreams, Grenada dreams
Whenever we are apart
