Rise Up, New Guinea
(Verse 1)
Oh, land of gold and endless green,
Rivers wide and mountains steep,
A nation strong, a people free,
Yet shadows fall where greed still creeps.
(Pre-Chorus)
But we are more than silver chains,
More than lies and stolen gains,
The time has come to break the tide,
Stand as one, reclaim our pride.
(Chorus)
Rise up, New Guinea, hear the call,
No more silence, no more fall.
Truth will shine, the light will grow,
Through our hands, let justice flow.
(Verse 2)
The leaders' words must match their deeds,
No empty vows, no selfish needs.
The people’s voice must stand so tall,
No bribes, no tricks, no chains at all.
(Pre-Chorus)
For we are more than silver chains,
More than lies and stolen gains,
The time has come to break the tide,
Stand as one, reclaim our pride.
(Chorus)
Rise up, New Guinea, hear the call,
No more silence, no more fall.
Truth will shine, the light will grow,
Through our hands, let justice flow.
(Bridge)
From the islands to the highlands,
Let the drums of freedom sound.
With honor, strength, and courage,
We will never back down.
(Outro)
Rise up, rise up, rise again,
New Guinea, strong until the end.
For justice, for truth, for all to see,
A nation whole, corruption free.
