A flicker of golden light
Alive comes ability of sight
The world you now may see
In different shades of me.
My heart is a lantern
A kaleidoscope of pattern
You see a tender flower
And fail to see the power.
It takes strength to burn bright
It takes love to shine my light
To tell my tale in every flame
Until no one forgets my name.
I am the motherland
The world is my lamp stand
My people are blazing bright
Their history a glowing light.
You judge their skin as dark
Look again and see the spark
Their fiery rays tell the story
Of their rise from bias to glory.
My honour is a lantern
In its defense, I stand stern
A prejudice free world I desire
To burn as I am embracing my fire.
