Fight for freedom ev'ryone,
Build the ship and man the gun,

Do as you have never done,
To set the people free.

We, the few, the happy free,
Will fly the flag of Liberty,

Blow the horns of Liberty, Liberty.
Till the world is free.

All men must be free,
March for Liberty with me.

Brutes and braggarts may,
Have their little day,
We shall never bow the knee.
God is drawing His sword,
We are marching with the Lord.

Sing, then, brother sing,
Giving ev'ry thing,
All you are and hope to be,
To set the people free.
Wake and watch and work and win,
Fight and farm and sew and spin,

Fall the faithful people in,
To set the peoples free.
But the day the battle's won,
Never say the fight is done.
Make the world a better one!
Better One!
When the world is Free.

All men must be free,
March for Liberty with me.
Brutes and braggarts may,
Have their little day,
We shall never bow the knee.

God is drawing His sword,
We are marching with the Lord.
Sing, then, brother sing,
Giving ev'ry thing,
All you are and hope to be,
To take the torch across the sea,
And set the peoples,
Keep the peoples free.
