60 Years

Lilibet, Queen of our nation,
In vibrant beauty her reign begun
One February morn of African sun
Lilibet, Queen of our nation

In vibrant beauty her reign begun
Returning home to England in black,
An era of change, of endless flack,
In vibrant beauty her reign begun

Returning home to England in black,
Her sense of duty holding her strong,
Did she know she’d reign so long?
Returning home to England in black.

Her sense of duty holding her strong,
Lilibet, Queen of our nation,
She’s answered without hesitation
Her sense of duty holding her strong.

Lilibet, Queen of our nation
In vibrant beauty her reign begun,
A jubilee recalling all she has done,
Lilibet, Queen of our nation.


Dedicated to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
