Independence Day 2022 (Representative image)

I don't know a time without freedom
When children went hungry, unthought of?
When people worked endless in vain
When people were violated, their rights all but none,
When the sun only rose for those with limitless greed

I don't know a time without freedom
The passion and valour of those who prevailed?
Those who fought, those who lost
Who unwaveringly believed that they?
Could roll the boulder up the hill,
And those lionhearted souls that actually did

I don't know a time without freedom
But I know once there was such a time?
So I honour the people who are why I can say,
Hold your head up high, and happy Independence Day
