Lyrics Israel Kamakawiwo’ole – Living In A Sovereign Land
Text:
There’s a celebration on the palace grounds
People need To know, what’s going down
There’s a proclamation from the powers that lead
Our island nation has got to be free!
Living in a sovereign land
Island people come together as one
For future generations under the sun
Singing songs of freedom
Singing songs of love
Living in a sovereign land
Living in a sovereign land
Bridge
Our children deserve To know
What went down a hundred years ago
You can pay the man, you can take the land
But you can’t take the truth away!
E Ola, living in a sovereign land
E Ola, living in a sovereign land
Repeat Bridge/Instrumental
E Ola, living in a sovereign land
E Ola, living in a sovereign land
Bruddahz an tetaz, brown, yellow and white
time to do what you know Is right
Whats been taken must be returned
Give our children what they deserve
E Ola, living In a sovereign land
E Ola, living In a sovereign land
