Oh Bahamas     Oh Bahamas

Oh Bahamas, Islands of the Sun,
Tropical Trees,
Beached with fine grains of soft Sand,
Bathed with Waves of Light Blue Ocean,
Bouyed in an Ocean of Deep, Dark Water,
Born in Streaks of Whispy White Clouds

Oh Bahamas, Jewels of the Sea,
Delicate Strings of Emerald,
Bounded by Rims of Gold,
Touched by Tides of Turqois,
Surrounded by Seas of Saphire,
Draped with Strings of Pearl

Oh Bahamas, Gardens of the Atlantic,
Water Lillies,
Trimmed in Yellow Aqualeishia,
Splashed with Iris,
Sprayed with Blue Heaven,
Floated upon Veronica,
Caressed by Queen Fabiola,
Adorned with Star of Bethlehem

Oh Bahamas, Spectra of the Universe,
Sea Green,
Grown from Waves and Dunes of Brown,
Mixed with Blue Baby and Teel,
Cradled in a Pool of Royal Aqua,
Lined with Diamond Whites

Oh Bahamas, Window of the World,
You, Grand Bahama, Great Abaco, Enagua, Eluthra, Exouma,
Islands of the Sun,
Jewels of the Sea,
Gardens of the Atlantic,
Spectra of the Universe,
Framed in a Sky Blue Window in the Heavens,
Earthly Eyes reflected in the Window Pane,
Earthly Eyes Mirrored in your Clear Blue Water
