I'm gonna tie my hope to Freedom's Star I'm gonna spread the word both near and far Stand tall young man hold your head up high The gift of freedom you cannot buy Hold tight, my brothers To Freedom's Star! In a world so full of doubt and fear Every man must guard his rights so dear Listen to what's said and know what it means To hold those things so pure and so clean. In our freedoms eyes a man's a man If he's yellow, black or white or tan Our people must believe and must lead the way To show the world we mean what we say. I'm gonna tie my hope to Freedom's Star I'm gonna spread the word both near and far Stand tall young man, hold your head up high The gift of freedom you cannot buy Hold tight, my brothers To Freedom's Star! Liberty's weight is a heavy load It takes a strong man's heart to tote that load To decide for himself and to speak out loud To be his own, makes a man so proud. I'm gonna tie my hope to Freedom's Star I'm gonna spread the word both near and far Stand tall young man, hold your head up high The gift of freedom you cannot buy Hold tight, my brothers To Freedom's Star!
