Garinagu Arise: The Time Has Come by Marcella Lewis gathered from LABEN March '98 newsletter.

Garinagu Arise
The time has come
Be as one
Wave our flag
Raise our voice
Let us go forward!
Garinagu, let us not abandon our roots
Let us speak our language
Let us be proud of our language, kinfolks
Let us have a voice so we may be heard
So the door may open for us to come in from the rain.
Our Garifuna children, boys and girls
Let us stand and help in the advancement of our homeland
Established for us by our ancestors
You must be brave soldiers, guardians, and support our homeland, Belize
Our home, sweet home.
