New national anthem.

The lyrics seem to depict an inflated sense of importance. But best of luck to them anyway.

"The lyrics seem to depict an inflated sense of importance."

They have REAL martyrs, who are worthy of this aspirational language, as is God. Their national anthem:

South Sudan Oyee!

Oh God!
We praise and glorify you
For your grace upon Kush,
The land of great warriors
And origin of the world’s civilization.

Oh Kush!
Arise, shine, raise your flag with the guiding star
And sing songs of freedom with joy,
For peace, liberty and justice
Shall forever be again.

Oh black warriors!
Stand in silence and respect,
Saluting millions of martyrs whose
Blood cemented our national foundation.
We vow to protect our nation.

Oh Eden!
Land of milk and honey and hardworking people,
Uphold us united in peace and harmony.
The Nile, valleys, forests and mountains
Shall be our sources of joy and pride

Oh lord, bless South Sudan!

Thanks for the link.
