Lyrics
Liberty won by white men would lose half its luster
Who would be free themselves must strike the blow
Better even to die free, than to live slaves
The relation between the white and colored people of this country
Is the great, paramount, imperative and all-consuming question
For this age and the nation to solve
The destiny of the colored American is the destiny of America
Who would be free themselves must strike the blow
Better even to die free, than to live slaves
The relation between the white and colored people of this country
Is the great, paramount, imperative and all-consuming question
For this age and the nation to solve
The destiny of the colored American is the destiny of America
