A Native Of The World (Based on the tune to ‘The Battle Hymn of the Republic’)

I salute the tricolor of the sky and earth and sea;
the lion rampant of the rising Sun king’s livery;
those are the only banners that mean liberty to me,
a native of the world.

I cherish the great epic and the anthem of all life
and celebrate life’s victories over unceasing strife;
I mourn all Mother Terra when I feel their carving knife
dividing up our world.
