Israel Kamakawiwo'ole

Living in a Sovereign Land

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

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

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

E ola, living in a sovereign land

E ola, living in a sovereign land

Bruddas an titas, brown, yellow and white

Time to do what you know is right

What's 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

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

E ola, living In a sovereign land

E ola, living In a sovereign land

E ola, living In a sovereign land

E ola, living In a sovereign land
