The Dawning of Freedom
In darkness I sit,
Afraid and alone.
Chained and tied I wait,
Ashamed to call this my home.
Will this darkness end?
Will I ever be free?
In this blinding shadow,
There is no way to see.
But in the darkness
I hear a song so pure!
An anthem that rings
Strong and sure!
I follow the sound,
To a brilliant light.
An astonishing glow,
That swallows the night.
The sound of freedom
Sweeps the land!
My tears are dried,
And independence stands.
There is no fear,
My chains no more.
For freedom sings
Like a lions' roar.
