The sun and the stars are all ringing
With song rising strong from the earth,
The hope of humanity singing,
A hymn to a new world in birth!

United Nations on the march,
with flags unfurled!
Together fight for victory,
A free new world!

Take heart all you nations swept under
By powers of darkness that ride,
The wrath of the people shall thunder,
Relentless as time and the tide!

United Nations on the march,
with flags unfurled!

A free new world!

As sure as the sun meets the morning
And rivers go down to the sea,
A new day for mankind is dawning,
Our children shall live proud and free!
Chorus
United Nations on the march,
with flags unfurled!
Together fight for victory,
A free new world!
