Beneath your ever clear sky
Merry mountains and gay valleys lie.
Home to air that touches hearts far and wide.
For you my...

We harboured a dream
Believing freedom would bring us joy
We sought to liberate ourselves
From the shackles of colonial reign

Freedom arrived, vast and unrestrained
To our prayers God answered
