I believe these are the lyrics:
Built in peace and stability,
hosted by development and progress,
Humanity
and happiness is on all faces,
our outstanding country Gambia.
Wherever you are,
never forget
your homeland Gambia
For if you forget your roots,
you turn your back on who you are.
(Refrain):
We are proud…
We are proud of our country
(Refrain):
We are proud…
Let us come together and unite
(Refrain):
We are proud…
This is what will result in progress
People of the Gambia; this is the beautiful land
People of the Gambia; this is the peaceful land
People of the Gambia; this is the land of our people
People of the Gambia; there is nothing that compares to this land
People honour this country because it is blessed
We should not abandon our beautiful country
Sons/daughters of this land, let us come to together
I will truly always be proud to be a Gambian
Wherever I travel, I shall tell of the wonders of this country
There is nowhere that compares to Gambia
Outro:
The home of Peace… everyone say “Gambia”
The home of Blessings… everyone say “Gambia”
The home of Humility… everyone say “Gambia”

hosted by development and progress,
Humanity
and happiness is on all faces,

For if you forget your roots,
