living in a sovereign land

there's a celebration on the palace grounds

people need to know

what's going down

there's a proclamation from the powers that lead

our island nation has got to be free!

living in a sovereign land

living in a sovereign land

island people come together as one

for future generations under the sun

singing songs of freedom

singing songs of love

living in a sovereign land

living in a sovereign land

our children deserve to know

what went down a hundred years ago

you can pay the man

you can take the land

but you can't take the truth away!
