Lyrics
Now all the nations are awakening
Banded together by one tie
Civilization means the nation’s
Mobilization, Conservation
Drafted and volunteer will do or die
For years in peace we’ve had our liberty
Now it is threatened by one hand
So, it must be a war of right
To win liberty let each one fight
For peace that will govern ev’ry land
Trio
So nations of the world awake
Make good and fight for freedom’s sake
Awake and speed you’ve just begun
Grip tight until the fight is won
No nation of the world will be
A mailed fist to prison liberty
Nations awake!
For freedom and your children’s sake
Help your nation’s awakening
