The Lone Star of Africa
A new deal was signed
Plantations workers laid down their tools
Freedom songs were sang everywhere
The birth of our liberty emerged
Our heritage we vow to defend
The root of our liberty we sure to protect
Upholding the lone star we will never desert
Its banner over Liberia we shout in victory
A Symbol of the first flag of Africa
Flying over the land and over the sea
Age to age we will never fail
Season in seasons we will fulfill the cause of our liberty
The lone star forever, the lone star forever
Shinning brighter like a golden flame
The wings of our foes are broken
And we are marching forward to never fall again
Midst low ‘ring skies and thunder storms
The star of liberty waves high in the sky
The sweat of every plantation worker is worthy
Liberia flag repainted with peace
Shinning forever over all the continents of the earth
