How distant is that dawn, how far away,
When every dream will bloom in its own day?
This nation wakes, a dawn for all to see,
A beacon bright, for all humanity.
This nation wakes, the foremost of the free,
This nation wakes, for all eternity,
This nation wakes, for all the world to see,
A sacred place, for all who long to be.
How distant is that dawn, how far away.
How distant is that dawn, how far from sight,
Strive to make my land a garden, bathed in light,
Where every eye beholds, and hearts ignite,
Where every eye beholds, and hearts ignite.
A paradise, in beauty, taking flight.
How distant is that dawn, how far away.
How distant is that dawn, how long the wait,
We are the same, whatever be our fate,
Though faiths may vary, one the sacred state,
For in this soil, we all commemorate,
Though faiths may vary, one the sacred state,
A mother's face, we all appreciate.
How distant is that dawn, how far away,
When every dream will bloom in its own day?
This nation wakes, a dawn for all to see,
A beacon bright, for all humanity.
This nation wakes, the foremost of the free,
This nation wakes, for all eternity,
This nation wakes, for all the world to see,
A sacred place, for all who long to be.
How distant is that dawn, how far away,
How distant is that dawn, how far away,
How distant is that dawn, how far away.
