Lyrics
I am rich
For the birds in the trees
The sunshine and vegetation
I am rich
From the rivers to the reef
The mountains the waterfalls
I am rich
In a jungle by the sea
With a cool house made from green forests
I am rich
So let's celebrate and sing
With good friends for everlasting
I am rich
The coral reef washes away my pain and sorrow
I am rich
For I have no fear of tomorrow
I am rich
Animals comfort me like soothing tropical breezes
I am rich
Because you love me guarantees it
I am rich
From what is free Allelouia
I am rich
With more diversity
I am Creole I am Garifuna
I am rich
I will stand with you until the end
I am rich
I am Mayan I am Mestizo
I am East Indian
I am rich
I am Belizean
I am rich
I am Belizean
Grant peace to the world
Heal our misunderstandings
With loving kindness and mercy
Only grace from above
Will let us gently move these mountains
We are all rich
I believe
I am rich
For the birds in the trees
The sunshine the vegetation
I am rich
From the rivers to the reef
The mountains the waterfalls
I am rich
In a jungle by te sea
With a cool house made from green forests
I am rich
So let's celebrate and sing
With good friends for everlasting
I am rich
I am Belizean
I am rich
I am Belizean
Grant peace to the world
Heal our misunderstandings
With loving kindness and mercy
Only grace from above
Will let us gently move these mountains
We are all rich
I believe
Grant peace to the world
Heal our misunderstandings
With loving kindness and mercy
Only grace from above
Will let us gently move these mountains
We are all rich
I believe
