Light time for a kingdom

[Beautiful piano and violin intro] [Verse 1] In a land where rivers flow and mountains touch the sky, Four flags once waved above, as time went slowly by. From east to west, they came and went, each leaving marks so deep. But in the hearts of people, a dream was sown to keep. [Chorus] Oh, rise up, land of endless grace, Break the chains, reclaim your place. From the ashes, a phoenix flies, Independent, under open skies. [Pre-chorus] The first came with their ships and gold, claiming what they found. The second brought their rule and laws, spreading all around. The third with war and steel, tried to crush the spirit strong, The fourth imposed their will, but the land still sang its song. [Chorus] Oh, rise up, land of endless grace, Break the chains, reclaim your place. From the ashes, a phoenix flies, Independent, under open skies. [Bridge] Years of toil and silent tears, voices raised in pain, A tapestry of struggle, woven through the rain. But the fire in their hearts refused to die or fade, In unity and courage, their freedom finally made. [Pre-chorus] Now the sun rises on a land, where once shadows cast, The flags of others lowered, their rule a memory past. With heads held high and hearts so proud, they march into the dawn, For every scar and battle won, their spirit carries on. [Chorus] Oh, rise up, land of endless grace, Break the chains, reclaim your place. From the ashes, a phoenix flies, Independent, under open skies. [Outro] In the annals of history, this tale will be told, Of a land that stood united, and the freedom they did hold. For no matter who may come and go, the spirit will remain, A land reborn in glory, free from every chain.
