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 [Bridge] 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! E Ola, living in a sovereign land E Ola, living in a sovereign land [Repeat Bridge/Instrumental] E Ola, living in a sovereign land E Ola, living in a sovereign land Bruddahz an tetaz, brown, yellow and white time to do what you know Is right Whats been taken must be returned Give our children what they deserve E Ola, living In a sovereign land E Ola, living In a sovereign land
