Here are the lyrics to "The Banner of Freedom":
In Samoa's banner there is a precious pearl
With a symbol of the faith held true
Beneath the Southern Cross of stars
In union we are gathered here
Let us cherish our freedom so dear
Chorus:
Lift up the banner, let it flutter and be known
This beacon to us all that we are not alone
From the heart of the ocean, our nation's pride
We'll defend our freedom, side by side
The spirit of our land, in every Samoan's soul
We stand together, brave and strong
With honor and faith in our hearts
Samoa's banner waves so high
As a symbol of our unity
Chorus:
Lift up the banner, let it flutter and be known
This beacon to us all that we are not alone
From the heart of the ocean, our nation's pride
We'll defend our freedom, side by side
This song captures the essence of Samoa's history and the enduring spirit of its people. It inspires a sense of pride, patriotism, and unity among Samoans, both within the country and abroad.
