Lyrics
[Intro]
Across the vast Pacific blue,
A tapestry of islands, tiny and true.
[Verse 1]
Micronesia, where the skies meet the sea,
Four states with stories, waving free.
From Yap to Kosrae, islands so grand,
Each with its tale, like pearls in the sand.
[Pre-Chorus]
Under the stars, where histories blend,
A cultural mosaic, no beginning, no end.
[Chorus]
Oh Micronesia, sail on your breeze,
Whispering your tales through coconut trees.
Islands of legends, sun-kissed and bright,
Your spirit dances in the moonlight.
[Verse 2]
Palikir stands, the capital serene,
On Pohnpei's slopes, in emerald green.
Canoes glide over waters so clear,
Legacy of navigators, cherished and dear.
[Chorus]
Oh Micronesia, sail on your breeze,
Whispering your tales through coconut trees.
Islands of legends, sun-kissed and bright,
Your spirit dances in the moonlight.
[Bridge]
From ancient ruins, Nan Madol calls,
Stone cities rise with whispered thralls.
Chants and dances, a vibrant hue,
Languages of Micronesia, a chorus true.
[Final Chorus]
Oh Micronesia, sail on your breeze,
Whispering your tales through coconut trees.
Islands of legends, sun-kissed and bright,
Your spirit dances in the moonlight.
[Outro]
In the heart of the vast Pacific sea,
Micronesia, forever wild and free.
