CRY OF FREEDOM

Post Physics and EST stress!

i strive for my country, my people,
i hope that one day,
we will be strong, fearless,
never to be colonized again,
no longer looked down upon.

i pray that when our flag flies high,
people would look up in pride and say,"that's the Jalur Gemilang!"
never in fear nor shame

i dream that one day, we can unite,
as one,
one nation, one voice, one pride,
under the magnificent colours of the 'Stripes of Glory'
hand in hand,
we stand as one.

no! this is not a dream!,
it can happen,
it should happen,
it will happen.

stand up all malaysians!
i call upon thee!
stand up for thy country!
thy blood! thy fatherland!

prepare to defend our land,
our soil, our home,
let thy blood flow down to the ground,
to the Rajang river!
to the straits of Melaka!

let thy life end in the battlefield,
on the front lines,
with honour and pride,
than to live and see a foreign flag dominating our clear blue skies,
to live under a shadow of fear,
to be oppressed once more.

defend thy country!
to the last drop of blood,
to the last shout of MERDEKA!

never forget my comrades,
my brothers and sisters,
my people,
we were once colonized for centuries,
once made slaves on our own soil,
once reduced to mere servants.

remember!remember my friends!
let us not forget our past,
let us not repeat our ancestor's mistakes,
let us not be tempted by wealth and power,
blinded by lust and greed,
to the point where we sell our honour, our pride, our souls!
no more!

my friends!
now is our time!
our time to show the world,
to lead them,
to stand tall and proud,
on the world stage,
to remind them, who we are!
to remind them,
we are strong, we are united, we are one!

and let us not forget,
the famous cry of freedom,
the famous declaration of liberation,
MERDEKA!
