Cherished home

My home, your home, our home 

With open arms, we welcome the tides 

From distant lands, we all have come 

To make this island our cherished home 

The skies above, a canvas painted blue

Seen across the roads, a claw-tastic display

Different cultures and ethnicities

From far places, they gather here

Creating a tapestry that’s ever so dear

They bring their traditions, their hopes, and their dreams

To this island of wonder, where nothing’s as it seems

A harmonious blend, 

On Christmas Island, there’s love to extend
