The Bond of Nations
The omniscient sun arises on these fields of freedom
And casts its bright hope above the faltering shadows of doubt
Awakening the heartland voices of a nation of all nations
A brotherhood born from tyranny and wars
To stand together to serve their common purpose
That each one shall enjoy the liberty promised by our forefathers
In the pursuit of freedom and happiness
Each harvesting hope in the fields of opportunity
Each melding their futures - all cultures and families of man
Hand in hand, spirit to spirit
With the same determination and commitment
As the omniscient sun rising over our homeland
To lead the path to democracy and our unity with the world!
