THE VOICE OF FREE AMERICA

Like the voice of free America,
I am pleading now with you,
Let’s all shout the word of freedom
Throughout Europe and Asia, too.
There is no place like our nation,
It is led by God’s own hand.
Let’s defeat the oppressor
And bring peace to every land.

Oh, the voice of free America
It beams throughout the world,
Tells the honest way of life
To man and woman, boy and girl.
Let’s thank God for all our freedoms.
He’s been good to you and me.
Let’s unite the willing nations
And keep the whole world free.

In Iran, they’re having trouble
Over oil, so we do hear.
Between Britain and Iran,
The Russians interfere.
On the other side,
Korea is a sea of blood today.
Send the voice of free America
And get on your knees and pray.

Oh, the voice of free America
It beams throughout the world,
Tells the honest way of life
To man and woman, boy and girl.
Let’s thank God for all our freedoms.
He’s been good to you and me.
Let’s unite the willing nations
And keep the whole world free.

Sometimes I wonder what will happen
If we go on up in space.
I feel sure there’s just one answer:
There’ll be no more human race.
The atom bomb will cause destruction,
We can stop this with our prayers.
Send the voice of free America
To all nations everywhere.

Oh, the voice of free America,
It beams throughout the world,
Tells the honest way of life
To man and woman, boy and girl.
Let’s thank God for all our freedoms.
He’s been good to you and me.
Let’s unite the willing nations
And keep the whole world free.

Jimmy Osborne, 1951
