national anthem: arise! arise! - jean rohe lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
atlantic and pacific flow
the great lakes and the gulf of mexico
the land between sustains us all
to cherish it, our tireless call

[chorus]
arise! arise!
i see the future in your eyes
to a more perfect union we aspire
and lift our voices from the fire

[verse 2]
we reached these sh0r-s from many lands
we came with hungry hearts and hands
some came by force and some by will
at the auction block, or the darkened mill

[chorus]
arise! arise!
i see the future in your eyes
to a more perfect union we aspire
and lift our voices from the fire

[verse 3]
we died in your fields and your factories
strange fruit hangin’ from the poplar trees
with an old coat hanger in a room somewhere
a trail of tears, an electric chair

[chorus]
arise! arise!
i see the future in your eyes
to a more perfect union we aspire
and lift our voices from the fire

[verse 4]
our great responsibility
to be guardians of our liberty
‘till tyrants bow to the people’s dream
and justice flows like a mighty stream

[chorus]
arise! arise!
i see the future in your eyes
to a more perfect union we aspire
and lift our voices from the fire
