Listen to our declaration Listen to our testament We've been given a revelation We are sure of where we stand So let the banner be unfurled We've found the light of hope in a dying world
Hear the myth of modern man You're the god of your own land They call you weak a spineless fool Say you've given up your right to rule But I have been to the land of me And I know I was never free Freedom came when I gave it all away
(Chorus) That's why I call it independence day Call it independence day Let the rockets blaze across the sky Raise the flag of faith up high Let the doubters call it what they may It's independence day
The world can crown another hundred kings But I believe in better dreams They may call it slavery But the biggest chain I knew was me So the idols tumble down The walls of lies crumble to the ground I know where salvation can be found Let the idols tumple down
(Chorus)
<Bridge> So join in the celebration It's the birth of a holy nation As people of light we are proud to say It's independence day
