Time was the cry went round the world	A
America for freedom speaks	B
A new flag is to day unfurled	A
An eagle on the mountain shrieks	B
A king is failing on his throne	C
A race of men defies his power	D
And no one could have guessed or known	C
The burden of that splendid hour	D
	-
A bell rang out that summer day	E
And men and women stood and heard	F
That tongue of brass had more to say	E
Than could be spoken by a word	F
It spoke the thoughts of honest men	G
It whispered Destiny's intents	H
And rang a warning loudly then	G
To Kings of all the continents	I
	-
The old bell in its holy loft	J
Where pigeons nest has ceased to swing	K
And yet through many a day and oft	J
A weary people hear it sing	K
That hour long years ago when first	L
America for freedom fought	M
The bonds of slavery were burst	L
That hour began the reign of thought	M
	-
Here comes another summer day	E
America is on the sea	N
America has dared to say	E
That other people shall be free	N
No selfish stain her banner mars	O
Her flag for truth and right unfurled	A
With every stripe and all its stars	O
Still speaks its message to the world	A
	-
Out where the soldiers fight for men	G
Out where for others heroes die	P
Out where they storm the Tyrant's den	G
The Starry Banner lights the sky	P
And once again the cry goes out	Q
That brings the flush of hope to cheeks	B
Grown pale by bitter war and doubt	Q
'America for Freedom speaks '	-
