Oh Happy Day!

Oft times we’ve mused about this day
Whilst shaking heavy shackles
Dreaming of those distant drums
That would herald a great release

Well you plied your trade
Despite the tyrants heavy boot
Giving succour to the many
Who thronged and pressed before you

Now, at last that glorious day has come
When serfdom truly ends
Now you decide your fate, alone
And follow your true path
