The nation is free
It's me who is caught
What's holding me back
Are my own thoughts

The nation stands tall
It's me who needs to rise
What's holding me back
Is my own disguise

The nation has flown to Mars
It's me who is here
What's holding me back
Are my own fears

Yes, my nation is independent
It's me who needs to be free
From I, me, and myself
I need to grow into we

Yes, I need to understand 'we'
