Lyrics
[Intro]
In the Caribbean sea so bright,
Lies Grenada, the isle of spice.
Where the sun kisses light,
And waves dance in paradise.
[Verse 1]
From St. George's to the hills,
Nutmeg fragrance in the air stills.
Volcanic soil so rich and grand,
Spices grow upon this land.
[Pre-Chorus]
White sandy beaches, lush green views,
A tapestry of vibrant hues.
Hear the waves and steel pans play,
Grenada calls you to stay.
[Chorus]
Oh Grenada, island of spice!
In your arms, the world feels nice.
History and culture blend so sweet,
With every step, a rhythmic beat.
[Verse 2]
French and British battled here,
In Fort George stories clear.
Independence came in '74,
Grenada rose like never before.
[Chorus]
Oh Grenada, island of spice!
In your arms, the world feels nice.
History and culture blend so sweet,
With every step, a rhythmic beat.
[Bridge]
Festivals light up the night, joyful and bright,
Carnival colors in the sunlight.
With oil down and callaloo in hand,
Taste the soul of this vibrant land.
[Final Chorus]
Oh Grenada, island of spice!
In your arms, the world feels nice.
From nutmeg fields to ocean's meet,
Your spirit, forever we seek.
[Outro]
In the Caribbean sea so bright,
Lies Grenada, the isle of spice.
Where the sun kisses light,
And waves dance in paradise.
