The Cali's Freedom Stand

In Singleton, there's a hotel
that stands tall like a citadel;
Where choice reigns, as you can tell, 
and freedom rings like a bell;

Where the voice of history, 
inscribed in awe and chivalry 
cries loud against debauchery 
and mental slavery; 

Where the banner of the union 
waves to repel discrimination; 
Where peaceful demonstration 
is sought to end the reign of coercion. 

Against tyranny, we shall then stand 
and echo our voice throughout the land. 
Let's join together, hand in hand 
for the glory of the fatherland. 

One flag, one nation. 
Freedom is our devotion. 
Let us join hands against segregation. 
Long live the federation!
