Oh for the love of freedom
Of that I write
A fullness of being
Like the blossoming of a flower
As the sun rises in the East
That liberty is sung
In emblamatic trills
By the Bird Of Paradise
Arise ye sons of this land
Oh for the want of freedom
Have many perished
Yet we sit inhibited
While our freedom is trampled
By greed and ignorance
Our forests are taken
As nature cries out
And the land screams
Your freedom! Your freedom!
Take not for granted
Oh for the sake of freedom
Must we stand united
To experience an expansion
In the infinity of our being
From mountain to sea
We are yet to find
The meaning of freedom
The price that was paid
Our past waits for justice
While our present anticipates
