"Come see victory, in the land called fantasy
loving life, a new decree,
bring your mind to everlasting liberty"
The above lyrics are from "Fantasy" by Earth Wind and Fire. English isn't my native language, and I have difficulty understanding them, especially the "loving" part. (I know what "love" means but not "loving (love+ing)")
Is the following lyrics written in complete sentence correct?
"Come and see the victory in the land called fantasy.
To love your life is a new decree,
which will bring your mind to everlasting liberty."
The entire Fantasy lyrics:

The way you have written the lyrics in complete sentences is perfect.
I think you have really answered your own question by replacing "loving" with "to love". You can say it both ways, and both ways it means the same thing.
The more I think about your question, the more I think what a good question it is, and the less I think I know the answer. :)
When I try to make my own complete sentences more freely, I find that the meaning depends so much on what I read into it, on what I want it to mean. There is a lot of room for interpretation.
First I thought:
“Come and defeat all your worries by using your imagination (fantasy)
to make your life so beautiful that you have no choice other than to love your life.
Then you will see that your mind is always free. (It is your choice how you experience life)”
but then I thought, it could be more profound as well…
“Use your imagination and you will see that your mind is always completely free to think what you choose. So you can experience life as you wish. If you choose to make it a rule to love your life always no matter what, you will be free from the burdens of life.”
Finally I thought, Earth, Wind and Fire could even have meant enlightenment, or the serenity of seeing beyond life’s surface to where everything is love…
Then “loving life” might mean to feel love for everything in your life, and to see the love in all things…
“Come and transcend suffering by looking at life from that place within you
where you feel only love for all there is,
and in this serenity you will be free.”

Well! What has been quoted above is the poetic language in the lyric form and to have an understanding of the same means think in the same line as that of the author.
It's an invitation to all that are far off, into the land of fantasy where victory is seen and felt more so, an achievement that all can afford. Loving life becomes something of a declaration of every individual and the degree to which as a strict observance ones does, gives the mind a satisfied feeling and a sense of long lasting liberty or freedom as a result of the victories achieved.

You are correct on both the lyrics and loving. It is an adjective relating to love.
