 Freedom to the World


The horizon glows with a morning light,
As shadows of tyranny fade from the sight.
From the land of the brave and the home of the free,
A beacon is shining across every sea.
High in the heavens, the Eagle takes flight,
With pinions of justice and talons of might,
An emblem of power that never shall rest
Until every nation is rightfully blessed.

Freedom to the world, in the Red, White, and Blue,
With a spirit of iron and a heart that is true.
Under the banner where fifty stars shine,
The promise of liberty—sacred, divine.

From the mountains of marble to plains of the gold,
The story of triumph is ancient and bold.
When dictators huddle in darkness and fear,
They know that the vanguard of justice is near.
For those who are downtrodden, silenced, and chained,
Where the rights of the person are bruised and profaned,
The Great Superpower descends through the sky,
To answer the captive’s long-suffering cry.
