Lyrics
Let Freedom Ring!
(My Country, Â?Tis Of Thee)
(Vs. )
Standing alone at the break of daylight gazing o'er the sea
Marvel at all of the peace and grandeur, Endless majesty!
Time is not spent, nor the earth not ended, HopeÂ?s still abounding if we befriend it
On the horizon - triumphant victory!
Chorus
Let freedom stand across the land
DonÂ?t sacrifice yours just so some can hand you gloom and doom and erring ways
Depriving your life of better days
Let freedom stand, let freedom ring, Bring truth and light to every living thing
Then youÂ?re free to live life through, Just let me live my life too!
(Vs.)
LifeÂ?s for transcending and loveÂ?s for sending, Choice in every course
Sacrifice rendering fruits ever-lending
But question those who force
Reason persuades us in all direction, Corruption is begging elimination
Trust every dream to that Grand Eternal Source!
Chorus
My country, 'tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty
Of thee I sing!
Long may our land be bright with freedom's holy light
Protect us by thy might, Great God our King!
