Music: anonymous
That seat of science Athens,
And earth’s proud mistress, Rome,
Where now are all their glories
We scarce can find a tomb.
Then guard your rights, Americans,
Nor stoop to lawless sway,
Oppose, oppose, oppose, oppose
For Free America.
Oppose, oppose, oppose, oppose
For Free America.
Torn from a world of tyrants
Beneath this western sky
We formed a new dominion,
A land of liberty;
The World shall own their masters here,
then hasten on the Day,
Huzza, huzza, huzza, huzza
For Free America
Lift up your hearts, my heroes,
And swear with proud disdain,
The wretch that would ensnare you
Shall spread his net in vain;
Should Europe empty all her force,
We’d meet them in array,
And Fight shout shout fight
For Free America.
So guard your rights, Americans,
Nor stoop to lawless sway,
Oppose, oppose, oppose, oppose
For Free America.
