1.
We, people of Micronesia,
Exercise sovereignty;
Establish our Constitution
Of Federated States.
Affirm our common wish to live
In peace and harmony,
To preserve heritage of past,
And promise of future.
Chorus:
Make one nation
Of many isles,
Diversity
Of our cultures.
Our diff’rences
Will enrich us.
Waters bring us
All together,
They don’t sep’rate,
They sustain us.
Our Islands,
Our nation,
Get larger
And make us stronger,
And make us much stronger.
2.
Our Ancestors made their homes here,
Displaced no other man.
We, who remain, wish unity;
Been ruled, we seek freedom.
Our days began when men explored
Seas in rafts and canoes.
Our nation born when men voyaged
The seas via the stars.
Chorus
3.
The world itself is an island.
We seek from all nations
Peace, friendship, co-operation,
Love and humanity.
With this Constitution,
We now become proud guardian
Of our beautiful islands,
Now and forever.
Chorus
