Put – R2M Da Negro National Anthem (Alb Cut) lyrics

Everybody lift your voice and sing, and sing this song

[Verse one]
Lift ev'ry voice and sing,
Till earth and heaven ring.
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise,
High as the list'ning skies,
Let it resound, let is resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
Let us march on, let us march on till victory is won.
Everybody com'mon lift your voice and sing

[Rap verse two]

Stony the road we trod,
Bitter the chast'ning rod,
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
Yet with a steady beat,
Have not our weary feet,
Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered,
We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered,
Out of the gloomy past,
Here now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast

[Verse three]

God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,
YOU who has brought us thus far, far on, on the way;
YOU who has by YOUR might,
Led us into, into the light,
Keep us forever, keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met YOU,
Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forgot YOU,
Shadowed beneath THY hand,
May we forever stand,
True to our GOD,
True to our Native Land

Everybody com'mon lift your voice and sing

[Chorus]

Everybody lift your voice and sing, and sing this song
Everybody lift your voice and sing, and march along
Everybody lift your voice and sing, and dance along
Everybody lift your voice and sing, and sing this SONG!

[Partial verse three]

Shadowed beneath THY hand,
May we forever stand,
True to our GOD, we gonna be
True to our Native Land.

Everybody com'mon lift your voice and sing
