Preamble (anthem)

Preamble (anthem)

"Preamble" was the first national anthem of the Federated States of Micronesia. It was adopted in 1979 and replaced in 1991 by "Patriots of Micronesia".

The title refers to the preamble of Micronesia's freshly ratified constitution, from which the lyrics are largely derived.

Text

:We people of Micronesia: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.

: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

:The world itself is an island:We seen from all nations.:Peace, friendship, co-operation,:Love and humanity.:With this Constitution,:We now become proud guardian:Of our beautiful islands.

::CHORUS
