Living In A Sovereign Land
Words & Music by Wade Cambern, Israel Kamakawiwoole & Bryan Kessler



There's a celebration on the Palace grounds
People need to know, just what's going down
There's a proclamation from the powers that lead
Says our island nation has got to be free!
Living in a sovereign land
Living in a sovereign land

Island people come together as one
For future geneations under the sun
Singing songs of freedom
Singing songs of love
Living in a sovereign land
Living in a sovereign land

Bridge:
Our children deserve to know
What went down a hundred years ago
You can pay the man, you can take the land
But you can't take the truth away!
E Ola, living in a sovereign land

Brothers and sisters, brown, yellow, and white
It's time to do what you know is right
What's been taken must be returned
Give our children what they deserve!
E Ola, living in a sovereign land
E Ola, living in a sovereign land.
