Since its inception in Greece, democracy has come a long way. As we witness unstable regimes that disappear, as quickly as they appear on the horizon of world politics, we are thrilled to witness our democracy remain unchallenged, in spite of surges of disagreements that, in fact, help reassure its continuity, for the reason that it is based on freedom of expression and never under any kind of political duress.

Go where freedom

loudly rings,

Where the humble poet

sings,

Where the joy of living

brings

Hope galore;

Where a democratic

nation

In its sweet

exhilaration

Knows no dissipation

Of its moralistic core.

Go where people strive

to see

Through their efforts verily

Ways of true

equality

To explore,

In a sound

administration,

Which by no

exaggeration,

Can, indeed, uplift

the nation,

Proudly so.

Go where labor

is requited,

And where wrongs are

surely righted,

And the spirit

is ignited,

As it yields;

Through the utmost

circumspection,

Striving in the right

direction

Of a body whose

election

Justice wields.

Where the present

keeps revealing

Future benefits

appealing,

As the bells of freedom

peeling,

Oh, so clear!

That promoters

of oppression

In their halls

of retrogression,

And such tyrants of

suppression

Stand to hear.

To be strong and

well-respected,

And by actions

well-directed,

To be wanted,

not rejected,

Is the goal

Of a nation proudly

dwelling

With great hope and trust

excelling,

And the love of freedom

welling

In its soul.

Go where freedom

loudly rings

Where the humble poet

sings,

And the joy of living

brings

More and more

Opportunities and

chances

Of successes and

advances

Through the knowledge that

enhances

As it flows.
