"This Land of Ours" is the local national song of the Turks and Caicos composed by Dr. Rev. Conrad Howell (December 12, 1962-September 11, 2015). As a British Overseas Territory, the official national anthem is still God Save the Queen.[1]
Lyrics
- O we salute this land of ours
- Our country we declare
- This promise land with its beauties grand
- Though small it is our own
Chorus
- Turks & Caicos, Turks & Caicos
- Our country firm and free
- Our allegiance Turks & Caicos
- We pledge and we affirm.
- Our people forged and blend
- With multiplicity
- Of race and kind and creed and tongue
- United by our goals
- From the east, west, north and south
- Our banks and oceans meet
- Surrounding sands and hills of glee
- Our pristine beauties see
Chorus
- Turks & Caicos, Turks & Caicos
- Our country firm and free
- Our allegiance Turks & Caicos
- We pledge and we affirm.
- We stand with courage brave
- To maintain this land of ours
- With Islands scattered here and there
- With trust in God we stand
