“Papua New Guinea” – composed by  Geoffrey Baskett

Our land is the island of high mountains,
Of sunlit palms and coral sea,
Where our people sing while the drums are beating,
For our land is strong and free,
Papua…New Guinea…

Papua New Guinea, our Motherland,
Every tribe and race, let us work together,
United we shall stand.

There’s a bright new day dawning for our land,
As every tribe and race unite,
Sons and daughters arise, we’ll advance together,
With God to guide us in the right,
Papua…New Guinea…

Papua New Guinea, our Motherland,
Every tribe and race, let us work together,
United we shall stand.
