Verse 1 From far across the ocean’s blue, she heard the freedom call, A promise born in courage’s flame, a beacon bright for all. Now on these Lowcountry shores, where tides of history flow, She stands with friends of liberty — the flame they vow to grow. Chorus Raise your voice, Carolina sky, let freedom’s song take flight, From Hilton Head to every shore, we guard that sacred light. No chain shall bind, no fear shall rule, where truth and honor lead — Together strong, forever free — the Friends of Liberty. Verse 2 We cherish faith and family, the work our hands have made, With grateful hearts for those who fought, whose sacrifice was laid. We gather not in anger’s name, but love of country fair, To teach, to serve, to speak with hope — our duty clear and rare. Chorus (repeat) Raise your voice, Carolina sky, let freedom’s song take flight, From Hilton Head to every shore, we guard that sacred light. No chain shall bind, no fear shall rule, where truth and honor lead — Together strong, forever free — the Friends of Liberty. Bridge From tyranny’s dark shadow to the dawn of reason’s reign, Each soul that tastes of freedom swears it shall not fade in vain. The dream that crossed the ocean still burns in hearts anew — In every friend of liberty, that dream comes shining through. Final Chorus (crescendo) Raise your voice, Carolina sky, let freedom’s song take flight, The spirit born of courage’s flame shall never lose its light. No power shall still the people’s will, no darkness ever be — While hearts beat strong on Hilton Head — the Friends of Liberty.
