Verse 2 lyrics:

Over seas there came a pleading,

"Help a Nation in distress!"

And we gave our glorious laddies,

Honor made us do no less.

For no gallant Son of Freedom

To a tyrant's yoke should bend,

And a noble heart must answer

To the sacred call of "Friend!"

Thought this song would be a fitting tribute to GB after such a fantastic Olympics! Roll on Rio!
