|American Samoa

You are my beloved country

Your name I shan't search for

You are my hope

You are the pearl of the Pacific

That is the lure of the five islands

Your customs and legends

are well known

Tutuila and Manu'a

Stand up and be counted

𝄆 Serve and bow down to your country

Let it be blessed and grow

American Samoa

The land of the free 𝄇
