Yankee

Yankee sing baldly;
Yankee sing loudly
roars of freedom overheard
from coast and shining sea
patriotism for the dead
who fought for revolutions
let them know we understand
the sacrifices they had

Liberty sing brightly
Liberty sing broadly
for the bloody wars
and bodies of casualties
for the soldiers coming home
and unmarked graves without flowers
for sovereign sisters who rose to action
and the love of a newlyweds home

We Yankees will sing.
