FROM THE RISE (Founding Fathers)

Yeah

Let's go back to seventeen seventy-six Where the blueprint was laid

They stood up to the crown,

took a pen and made a stand Fifty-six signatures to redefine the

land Jefferson with the ink,

Washington on the field A vision of a nation that would never

yield

Franklin with the wisdom,

Hamilton with the drive Building up a system so the dream could

survive

From the parchment to the stars,

they saw the light

They forged a path through the darkest night

They built the foundation,

carved it in stone A land of the free,

a place called home (place called home) With courage and honor,

they drew the line

Their names are written for all of time

Madison drafting the laws of the free Guardians of liberty from sea

to shining sea They argued,

they debated, but they found the compromise Underneath the banner where the

thirteen stars rise They left us a legacy,

a torch in our hand To keep the flame burning all across

this land

Through the fire of revolution They wrote the constitution

(oh, they wrote it down) Yeah,

they

laid the stones They built the foundation,

carved it in stone

A land of the free,

a place called home (place called home) With courage and honor,

they drew the line

Their names are written for all of time

Seventeen seventy-six

Built to last

For the future and the past (yeah)
