In the shadows drawn of tyranny

In the walls of your captivity

You will sow the seeds of destiny

A dream you call democracy

When the hearts of men have turned to stone

and it seems as though you dream alone

within your heart, the flame has shown

that freedom's song will guide you home

When the seas are rough, and skies are gray

and the beacon shines so far away

with a burning faith, you'll see the day

when prison walls will fall away

Like an emerald isle in stormy seas

And the ever towering cypress trees

You will turn the page of history

When all will find equality

In the depth of sorrow and despair

When the shadows lingered everywhere

All the hopes and tears of forty years

Have washed it all away

Though the hour was dark, the night was long

The change of tide has carried on

They can cage the bird, but not the song

Of freedom's rise for everyone

The undying dream to right the wrong

Will honour those who sang this song

They can cage the bird, but not for long

When freedom cries for everyone
