The Fight for Freedom 
Three or four thousand years ago, 
The ancient Greeks fought for Liberty 
As now we know. 
And before them, the persecuted Jews, 
Rebelled against the yoke of tyranny. 
Although the ?ght for Freedom 
Was long and hard, 
In the end they did not lose 
And Freedom rose unscarred! 
Centuries later the English people did uprise 
Or their freedom would have surely died 
And King John, the unkind 
The Magna Charter had to sign. 
For Freedom many men have died 
And for it they a King de?ed. 
Freedom is such a precious thing 
No one can take it away 
Not even a King. 
And so it goes through all the centuries, 
How men have worked and bled and died, 
How men have fought for Freedom 
With their women by their side. 
These things we now recall 
In the midst of the greatest Battle of them all. 
All over the world men are dying today 
That we may live in peace tomorrow. 
And in the peace that’s yet to come 
We will not hate and none we’ll shun. 
“Black, yellow, brown or white”, 
We’ll say, “These and all the others 
We are proud to call our brothers.” 
And when that happy day arrives, 
I think that God up in His skies 
Will say, with voice so mild, 
“Now I am proud to say, Man is my child."
