Anthem Lyrics English
American Samoa
You are my beloved Country
I stand in your name
You are my hope
You are the Pearl of the Pacific
The five islands need it
Your actions are well known in the land
And your stories from ancient times
Tutuila and Manua
Wake up and stand up
Serve and bow to your Kingdom
Blessed are the living heads
American Samoa
The Government is free
Serve and bow to your Kingdom
Bless the living heads
American Samoa
The Government is free
Live and prosper,
Samoan girl
Serve and bow to your Kingdom
Bless the living heads
American Samoa
The Government is free
Live and prosper,
Samoan girl
