The land where my fathers died,
And where I lay my fate,
Declaring independence from big ol’ Britain,
When they came to take us back they got an ass kickin’.

We got our freedom, we got the right,
If they try to take it back then there’ll definitely be a fight.

In a havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
