For decades blind, the veil was tight,
But now we stand in a land of light.
Eyes wide open, the truth revealed,
Freedom's taste, no longer concealed.
The streets are clean, the air is free,
No chains to bind, no eyes to see.
The world we feared, we now embrace,
A land of light, a boundless space.
This is the world, this is the dream,
Where freedom flows like a mighty stream.
No more walls, no more lies,
Under open, endless skies.
Cuba, rise from the darkened shore,
To the land of light forevermore.
No ration cards, no whispered fears,
The future shines, no stolen years.
The taste of choice, the sound of peace,
A world alive, where chains release.
We see the stars for the first time,
Feel the winds, taste the sublime.
The truth we sought, the fight we won,**
A life reborn under the sun.
The world is wide, the door is open,
No words of hate, no bonds unspoken.
With every step, we claim the fight,
To live in love, in the land of light.
This is the world, this is the dream,
Where freedom flows like a mighty stream.
No more walls, no more lies,
Under open, endless skies.
Cuba, rise from the darkened shore,
To the land of light forevermore.
We've found the world, we've found our place,
In every heart, freedom's grace.
No more darkness, only flight,
Cuba, rise to the land of light.
