Jubilee

Oh, glad day to celebrate
'Neath the cloudless sky
Air so sweet, water pure
Fields ripe with rye, come one, come all
Gather 'round
Discard your Sunday shoes
Come on now, oh, my land
Be a jubilee, come on, girl
Come on, boy, be a jubilee

Oh, my land, oh, my good
People don't be shy
Weave the birth of harmony
With children's happy cries, hand in hand
We're dancing 'round in a freedom ring
Come on now, oh, my land
Be a jubilee, come on, girl
Come on, boy, be a jubilee

We will never fade away
Doves shall multiply
Yet, I see hawks circling the sky
Scattering our glad day
With death and despair
What good hour
Will restore our troubled air

Come on, people
Gather 'round, you know what to do
Come on, people, oh, my land
What be troubling? Oh, my land
What be troubling? What be troubling?
What be troubling you?

We are love in the future
We stand in the midst of fury and weariness
Who dreams of joy and radiance
Who dreams of war and sacrifice
And by the realms are being squeezed
Curtailing civil liberties
Recruit the dreams that sing to thee
Let freedom ring

Freedom ring, freedom ring
Jubilee
Oh, my land
Oh, glad day
Oh, my land
Hear our cry
Freedom ring
Oh, glad day
Oh, my land
Jubilee, jubilee
