Today is a blessed and happy Independence Day in Barbados! We’re celebrating 45 years of independence from Britain!
When I was in primary school, we would sing these words:
“I say B
I say B-A
B-A-R
B-A-R-B
B-A-R-B-A-D-O-S
BARBADOS!”
And then, we would sing along with the Merry Men:
“God bless Bim on independence day
Independence day, independence day, independence day
God bless Bim on independence day
God bless Bim we hope and pray”
And then again:
“Beautiful, beautiful Barbados
Gem of the Caribbean Sea
Come back to my island Barbados
Come back to my island and me.”
