The Shining Stars

Words and Music Copyright 2157, Marcus Greenwood

If tomorrow all the things were gone

That I had worked for all my life

And I could only start again

Then trough whatever pain and strife

Still I would be thankful

To be living here today

And while I yet live

Our flags of freedom

Shall not fade away

I am a proud Alliance Citizen

And I will die unbowed and free

I will never forget the ones who fell

To preserve my rights for me

And I gladly stand up

Next to you

And defend us still today

No one shall doubt that we love our home

This Alliance great and free!

We bled on Etaine's frozen lakes

And fought with courage at Shaanxi

We patriots who stand for hope

Strive for stars our children see

From Thoreau to Port Cold Mountain

From Lowell City to LA

There is steel in every one of our hearts

And it is time to stand and say

I am a proud Alliance Citizen

And I will die unbowed and free

I will never disgrace the ones who fell

To preserve my rights for me

I will gladly stand next to you

But if ever I stood alone

You may forget my name

You shall not question

How much I loved my home!
