Shine, Shine, Oh Liberty

about

One of my musical hobbies was thinking up what new national anthems for my country might be. We're quite attached to The Star-Spangled Banner for very good reasons I mostly agree with, so these were more exercises in creativity than a real attempt at change. Shine, Shine, Oh Liberty is about freedom and victory after a bitter struggle.

The lyrics are not sung here, but are attached.

lyrics

Shine, shine, oh Liberty!
The long night has now passed away
With stripes and scars
You have borne the dark
Now in triumph rise
Ever shining bright
Raise your torch and send forth
Light over us
To guide and show the way
Shine, oh, Liberty!

Raise every hopeful voice
For victory is now at hand:
The strife is o'er and freedom dawns
You have labored long remaining strong
Lift your voice and sing out:
Hope is alive!
Who knows what dreams may come?
Shine, oh Liberty!
