The Land is green
And the fields fertile
When necks are lean
No need to go a mile
At a distance, the harvest is seen
Go to the field, make your pile
The rains are falling, the weeds multiply
Let not evil pests eat your good crops
Else, generations yet unborn shall cry
Let good men take charge, else evil usurps
You lazy man, Go back to the farm
The field awaits, the harvest beckons
Heal the agriculture, while strength is yet in the arm
Let's make it green, let's make the earth plants adorn
A new day is dawning
A true expected golden age
No need for running,
People raising fists in rage
People warmongering
Peace no more in the land, strange
A land where all strife and war is gone
A place where swords are turned to plowshares
Civilians not fearing the point of gun
When military men run mad through "Devil's snare"
A land where fear doth not spread her wings
'Cause its been clipped by sanity and peace
A land where in all houses, bell of joy rings
Laughter on every lips, all minds at ease
The barren giving birth
The trees giving forth bloom
People oft given to mirth
Joy and happiness in evry room
On every child, a good shirt
In every belly, delicious food
Let the earth yield forth her increase
And the people wake with renewed hope
Let the wombs deliver and bareness cease
And people live lives and not try to cope
Wake up from corruption and embrace honesty
Serve with all your might as lofty height attain
Put laugh on the faces of those "not mighty'
To build a nation where peace and justice shall reign
It's the Green, the White and the Green
The Fertile, the Peace and the Rebirth
Not the Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Happy Independence, it's not a Day, it's a Life...
