sleepless, |

calling to |
ev'ry |

Am |
D7 |
G |
| And |
radiant as the |
morning is |
our |
fair |
land. |
The morning greets us with coolness,
The river greets us with light;
The summer in radiant fullness
Awakens from the darkness of night.
For the wind has a breath of the morning;
They meet it with banners unfurled.
Let joy be your clarion, comrade,
We'll march in the dawn of the world.
Salute to the soldiers of freedom,
To comrades whose burden we share.
Divide with them sorrow and gladness,
Our labor, our plans and our care.
The universe envies us, comrades,
Our hearts are made strong in the strife.
Salute to the struggle for freedom!
Salute to the morning of life!
