Lyrics
(Verse 1)
In the heart of England, where the rivers flow,
Stood a king named John, with a rule to overthrow.
Rebels in the shadows, barons strong and bold,
Fought for justice, rights, and stories to be told.
(Pre-Chorus)
On the fields of Runnymede, where history took its stand,
The birth of freedom’s voice echoed through the land.
(Chorus)
Oh, the Magna Carta, a charter for the free,
In the hands of the people, a new decree.
With ink and parchment, they changed the land’s fate,
Liberty and justice, no longer could they wait.
(Verse 2)
Tyranny and taxes, burdens on the poor,
In the halls of power, they could take no more.
Barons joined together, with a common aim,
To limit royal power, in liberty’s name.
(Pre-Chorus)
On the fields of Runnymede, where history took its stand,
The birth of freedom’s voice echoed through the land.
(Chorus)
Oh, the Magna Carta, a charter for the free,
In the hands of the people, a new decree.
With ink and parchment, they changed the land’s fate,
Liberty and justice, no longer could they wait.
(Bridge)
Clause by clause, the rights were penned,
To protect the common man, to defend.
No man above the law, a principle declared,
In that ancient meadow, where the future was spared.
(Verse 3)
King John’s reluctant hand, signed the sacred scroll,
Bound by words of honor, that stirred the soul.
Though centuries have passed, its spirit still prevails,
A beacon of our rights, in the winds of justice sails.
(Pre-Chorus)
On the fields of Runnymede, where history took its stand,
The birth of freedom’s voice echoed through the land.
(Chorus)
Oh, the Magna Carta, a charter for the free,
In the hands of the people, a new decree.
With ink and parchment, they changed the land’s fate,
Liberty and justice, no longer could they wait.
(Outro)
From the ancient meadows to the courts of today,
The Magna Carta’s legacy continues to sway.
In the hearts of many, its spirit will endure,
For freedom and for justice, ever strong and pure.
