Sixty years, long and winding,
Sixty years of freedom unbidden,
Sixty years of searching and finding,
Sixty years, has our nation ridden!

As at the stroke of dense midnight,
We leap forward into the sixty-first,
With haste, we do hope to set right,
As all our ills, through freedom, burst!

Independence, treasured like no else,
My compatriots, come one, come all,
As with national pride, up, our flag wells,
Hear ye, my Happy Independence Day call!
