Palau is coming forth with strength and power By her old ways abides still every hour One country, safe, secure, one government Under the glowing floating soft light stands 2. Let’s build our economy’s protecting fence With courage, faithfulness and diligence Our life is anchored in Palau, our land We with our might through life and death defend 3. In spirit let’s join hands, united, one Care for our homeland…from forefathers on Look after its concord, its glory keep Through peace and love and heart’s devotion deep 4. God bless our country, our island home always Our sweet inheritance from ancient days Give us strength and power and all the rights To govern with to all eternity Reference: http://www.nationalanthems.info/pw.htm
