A little country tucked away
On the Baltic, and today
Independent once again,
But tiny, unlike past days when
With Poland it stretched far to the east;
But days of empire have long ceased,
And now it is a minute state,
From nineteen ninety when its fate
As a Russian province reached its end,
And Lithuania joined the trend
To independence, and the right,
To live lives free of foreign blight,
And emphasise their national past,
Once completely free at last.
