It’s time again, old bugler, Too Swiftly Came This Dawn
Stand Tall and Blow a Reveille, We Must Our Mantle Don
Be Keen and Sharp, Good Sentry, We’re Lincoln’s Child Once More
Let All Men By Your Presence Know, Soon Comes a Painful Chore
Beckon Bugler High and Low, Let All Heed Well Your Plea
Citizens, Comrades, Homeboys – Who Will Stand for Liberty
See How Raised Flag Seems Furled Close, Making Sad Display
Don’t Dwell on Things as They Appear, Look Back to Yesterday
Mark Instead those Near-Gone Days This Bolt Flew Proud
With Worth
Beladen of Toils, Sweat and Blood, The labours of Our Birth
Remember Too It’s Light Was Dim for People of Odd Sheen
Countless Are Those Wretched Souls, The Torments They Have Seen
Sadly Seeing All These Echoed Visions of Our Land
Still Stand Tall and Make Your Call, Be Liberty’s One Man Band
For Greatness Waits to Reign Again, We’re History’s Best Bar None
Come Forth You Deputations Vast, Proclaim Us Noblest Son
And Hail We Peoples Needful Deep, Flocked Ere Upon This Shore
Found Succor Sweet, Did Gladness Meet, Did Ease That Painful Sore
Flaws May Be O’Bugler Still, The Best This World Has Known
Left to Learn and Find Our Way, What Bounties Will Be Sown
Yet Some Just See What’s Bad and Ill, Blaring Harsh Decree
Shout With Ire How Some Have Less, Besmirch Our Dignity
So Brace Old Flag to Steel Our Souls, The Road Ahead to Trod
We’ll March in Faith or Walk alone, Each To Face His God
Rouse Our Fight, Brave Bugler, With Trumpet Rend the Air
Nudge This Flag With Trumpet’s Blast, It’s Majesty to Declare
See Brave Heroes Long Gone Down, We Ne’er Forgot Your Deeds
We’ll Do Our Best to win Your Smile and Destiny It’s Must Needs
I Am the Bugler, You Are Too, We’re One in Freedom’s Band
Let’s Raise the Call and Do Our All to Save This Precious Land!
