Yearn to be free, to have a voice,
That someone will notice and rejoice;
To stretch my dreams so far they go,
That everyone will now hear and know.

To stand amongst the crowd and sing,
We'll hear the sound of freedom ring;
Let loose with breaths of joy and hope,
No longer strangled by society's rope.

We'll share our feelings and desires,
To live unhindered most every hour;
Discuss whatever our lives contain,
No longer in shackles, or in pain.

Stand up and lay our lives to bear,
If we're to triumph and truly care,
Stand tall along the shores and say,
Today is all our independence day.
