When the freedom bird sings We will stand tall When the freedom bird asks We will answer the call One voice One people One nation No white brown of black But brothers joined in blood Shed on so many brutal fields Blood of many nations Blood shed for liberties flag You speak not my language brother But you bled and died for me You saw me not as white I saw you not as black But as my brother in arms Countryman of mine who answered the call Who on this foreign land did fall I held you as your last breath you took Your blood with mine into the earth did soak And who could say which blood was yours Say which blood was mine None for our blood flowed deepest red Forever lives entwined

when The Freedom Bird Sings
When the freedom bird sings We will stand tall When the freedom bird asks We will answer the call One voice One people One nation No white brown of black But brothers joined in blood Shed on so many brutal fields Blood of many nations Blood shed for liberties flag You speak not my language brother But you bled and died for me You saw me not as white I saw you not as black But as my brother in arms Countryman of mine who answered the call Who on this foreign land did fall I held you as your last breath you took Your blood with mine into the earth did soak And who could say which blood was yours Say which blood was mine None for our blood flowed deepest red Forever lives entwined
