Song
(Verse 1)
For understanding, leadership
In home, in church, and school,
To work and think efficiently,
Live by the Golden Rule,
(Chorus)
F-B-L-A, F-B-L-A
For all these things we stand.
We'll work for thee
With faith and hope,
All members hand in hand!
(Verse 2)
For freedom in our native land,
In spite of race and creed;
For friendship with our foreign friends,
Together we'll succeed.
