Independence Day

By Dr. K K Lay

They all fought for the country
Bo Gyoke Aung San and his army

They were all heroes and that is a fact
When the blood flowed, it was all crimson red.

They all fought for freedom, side by side,
Some of them lived, and so many died.

We mustn't forget them, not one single soul,
We must make sure their story is told.

They fought for freedom across our golden land
They were courageous until the last man stands.

Now it is our turn to pay back, our duty
To fight and reclaim our freedom and democracy

So please raise your hands and be counted in harmony
And let's make a pledge on Independence Day, the 4th of January
