[Verse 1]
Cold and dark the morning, just before the sun
A new day is breaking, our struggle has begun
The people are together, we shall be free
In this land, our homeland, our own democracy

[Chorus]
Come all you lads and lassies, rally to our cause
Seek the abolition of those old-fashioned laws
Let us open every eye, let the people see
What this land, our homeland, means to you and me

[Verse 2]
On the road together, walk hand in hand
Ring the bell of justice over all the land
All the world is waiting, watching you and me
In this land, our homeland, our own democracy

[Verse 3]
How long must we travel till our journey’s done
How long must we struggle till the fight is won?
May we live at peace again, may we live to see
This land of ours our homeland, our true democracy?

[Chorus]
Come all you lads and lassies, rally to our cause
Seek the abolition of those old-fashioned laws
Let us open every eye, let the people see
What this land, our homeland, means to you and me
[Outro]
What this land, our homeland, means to you and me
