Up A Thumb For Freedom
Beat a drum for freedom
It's worthy of our cheers
Go or come for freedom
It's worthy of our meres
Be a chum for freedom
It's worthy of our peers
Sing or hum for freedom
It's worthy of our dears
Win a crumb for freedom
It's worthy of our fears
Clear a slum for freedom
It's worthy of our tears
Pick or strum for freedom
It's worthy of our veers
Count a sum for freedom
It's worthy of our spears
Up a thumb for freedom
It's worthy of our years
