Lyrics
Sunshine on a vibrant new world
Mankind gravitates towards the freedom
Moonshine, the stars will model us
Disparate lines dissolve so all may thrive in peace
Mankind’s tremendous leap of faith, entwined in a pageantry of…
Colors that encapsulate the future (colors that captivate)
Let the person determine it himself
The colors that evoke both hope and envy (colors initiate)
From that person left on the world’s shelves
Across the sea are sown the seeds of a brave new world
Where history turns to stroll along a blazed new path
And the window opens and lets a fresh breeze blow
That loosens up the knots, that animates the cloth
Westward the winds will carry us
Onward towards the ideal of the freedom
Starboard with Almighty by our side
Severed chords, for we are never going back
Back to the stale feudal system (back to the feudal lords)
Overlords dictating terms of self
Nor back to colonial old world missions (back to the whipping boards)
Native peoples subjects of someone else
East of east, you’ll find the western fringe of western thought
A magic link that binds the world together as one
One of innovation, representation
Prosperous and fulfilling long lives
It is time for us to go, time to go, crimson white indigo, here we go!
