The PIPA Song

In April I mentioned that a song dedicated to the Phoenix islands Protected Area was unveiled at a reception for the PIPA Trust board of directors. Here it is finally for the world to enjoy!

PIPA You Are My Gift To Humanity

song written by Betarim Rimon

Oh Oh Oh my beautiful Islands
Rising from your low and your lonely home
Proudly showing what a hero you are of all times
You will always be and you be in my heart

Chorus: We are so proud of you
Your valour and humour that bring us together
PIPA you are the one you are my gift to humanity
God Bless our islands full of dreams and sweet sweet memories
God Bless our islands full of dreams and sweet sweet memories

Oh Oh Oh my beautiful Islands
The beautiful beaches and the green swaying palms
The ocean rich in life so full of promises
Your love for all that you want to share your riches
Oh I am so proud of you I still love you so

The Phoenix Islands Marine Protected Area (PIPA) is the one of the largest marine protected areas in the world and the largest and deepest World Heritage site on Earth. It was created in 2008 by the Pacific Island nation of Kiribati with support from its partner organizations, New England Aquarium and Conservation International. The Aquarium is grateful to the Prince Albert of Monaco II Foundation, The Robertson Foundation, GoPro, The Explorers Club and many others for helping to support this expedition.
