Let Freedom Ring
-Another collab with Justin Connor-
The long struggle is over
We fought hard,
And now we have brought the birth of a new nation
Where freedom reigns and lifts our spirits high
We have shown the world
That we do not need to be ruled by a tyrant far away
That it is possible to be free from tyranny
That we can successfully fight away a most powerful country
Free from monarchal upheaval
And greedy hearts of powerful men
To branch off on our own
To establish our own government
A united nation!
Strictly representing the people
Not even the large debts from the war
Can destroy our new, unified spirit
Nothing can destroy the ensuring joy
Of being alive and free
Always standing
Democracy is part of our life
Freedom reigns!
Because we have fought and died on this land,
We have earned the right to be free
And our brothers who have perished in honor for this blessing,
Who have fought with all of their might till death,
Our most brave brothers,
Will be looking down on us with pride
And stories of peace and freedom shall ease the minds of the injured
Our stories will last for generations to come
Many shall write books of our courage
And poetry about our enduring freedom
Our independence has been achieved
We are the land of the free
And the home of the brave!
