Bahamian-That's Who I Am

Born in a country that is a paradise, Free to worship God as we please, Free to express our mind by any means, Determined to foster democracy for all. Taught the value 'everyone counts', No matter what creed, color, or race, Lending a hand is what we are about, Living at peace with neighborly love. Enjoying our rich, unique, and diverse culture, Feasting on its smorgasbord of aphrodisiac delights, Possessing a rhythm that can not be beaten, Pulsating sounds of goatskin drums evoking dance. Learned from our forefathers the wisdom of life, Practice dedication, sacrifice, and courage with love, Is the key to open doors which leads to success, Who am I? Bahamian, that is who I am.
