Our Father's Fight

Oh liberty, for liberty,
Our hands will strike with force
Oh freedom, for freedom
We’ll follow then our course
                      As men of honor, we’ll fight long
                      For our children’s sake we must
                      On freedom’s march we’ll sing our song
                      And too, in God we’ll trust
Oh men, oh women
We fight for honor and pride
Oh children, my children
We have faith on our side
	Fear not today, for seek tomorrow
	As to you, bequeathed this land
                     Remember now, your father’s fight
                     And how we make this stand
