Lyrics | The time has come America, to show that we don’t forget, the land that helped us long ago the land we owe a debt, if the dismal days of Valley Forge, still live in memory, let us think of those who helped us, when we fought for liberty. When the music plays the Marseillaise, it sounds a nation’s call, remember the one who helped Washington, when it looked as if our noble flag would fall, let us not forget that Lafayette, came far across the sea, he was true when friends were few, now the least that we might do, is to do the same for France and liberty. Let’s aid the ones America, who fight in our freedom’s cause, their lives they give, that it may live the fight they fight is yours, when the sons of freedom all unite, then tyranny must fall, let us show the world that liberty, is monarch over all. |
