Listen to our declaration,
Listen to our testament,
We've been given a revelation,
We're sure of where we stand,
So let the banner be unfurled,
We've found a light of hope in a dying world,
Hear the myth of modern man, "You're the god of your own land,"
They call you, "Weak, a spineless fool," so you've given up your right to rule,
But I've been to the land of me, an I know I was never free,
Freedom came when I gave it all away.
That's why I call it independence day,
I call it independence day,
Let the rockets blaze across the sky,
Raise the flag of faith up high,
Let the doubters call it what they may,
It's independence day.
The world could crown another hundred kings but I believe in a better dream,
They may call it slavery, but the biggest chain I knew was me,
So let the idols tumble down,
The walls of lies crumble to the ground,
I know where salvation may be found,
Let the idols tumble down.
That's why I call it independence day,
I call it independence day,
Let the rockets blaze across the sky,
Raise the flag of faith up high,
Let the doubters call it what they may,
It's independence day.
So, join in the celebration,
It's the birth of the holy nation,
As people of light we are proud to say...
That we call it independence day,
I call it independence day,
Let the doubters call it what they may,
'Cause we call it independence day.
