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
