France
Thank you for the freedom flag,
The race is on at last,
Thank you for the dignity
To take us, and to cast
Out from oceans weary
Into the depths of land so true,
To give us hope and timely glory,
To sing a song of vibrant hue.
Riches of nature’s gifts
To nourish lonely souls thus fair,
Are bountiful within the laps
Of all who live and breathe the air.
Show the nations caught between,
The way to grapple with the doubt
Which shrouds the truth from light of day,
Bring it up, and peacefully, out.
