It is claimed that the population of Ambergris Caye is about twenty thousand, and most people view this as a very large population.  But wait a minute.  I want to prove to you that it has been much bigger than that.

On September 10, we celebrate the Battle of St. George's Caye. This is the time of the year when Belize dresses itself with its patriotic colors: blue, white and red. Let me give you a little background based on archives of Belize, how this thing came to happen.  But first the lyrics of our patriotic song.
