"We Have Freedom"
"We Have Freedom"
August 15th is here again,
Let’s celebrate our glory and freedom
We wear a beautiful mask on this day
That falsely screams “We have Freedom”
Freedom is what our fighters fought for
When the British made us slaves
Freedom is what children are fighting for
When they’re forced to work in mines and factories
Freedom is what this country wanted
When the British robbed us of our wealth
Freedom is what those families on the streets want
Freedom from their poverty
Freedom is what the people needed
When they were silenced from speaking against British rule
Freedom is what the people still need
To speak what they truly believe in without being threatened
August 15th is here again,
Let’s celebrate our glory and freedom,
Let's celebrate our victory
Against the British Empire
Let’s celebrate our beautiful country
And it’s rich heritage and cultural diversity
Let's celebrate our mouth-watering cuisine
And the legendary freedom fighters
And when one day
Women can walk outside without fear
And all children can go to school
When politicians aren’t corrupt
And no one is afraid to speak the truth
On that day I will be proud to say “We have freedom.
