BECAUSE ALL MEN ARE BROTHERS

March 17th 1970
Because all men are brothers
Wherever men may be,
One union shall unite us,
For ever proud and free!
No tyrant shall defeat us,
No nation strike us down;
All men who toil shall greet us
The whole wide world around!
My brothers are all others,
For ever hand in hand.
Where chimes the bell of freedom,
There is my native land!
My brothers' fears are my fears,
Yellow, white or brownm!
My brothers' tears are my tears
The whole wide world around!
Let every voice be thunder,
Let every heart be strong!
Until all tyrants perish,
Our work shall not be done!
Let not our memories fail us,
The lost, it shall be found!
Let slavery chains be broken
The whole wide world around!
