{epic brass hits, marching snare drum rolls,
patriotic atmosphere} 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 {soaring string swell,
rising snare build} 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 {heavy brass,
anthemic choral backing} 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
{instrumental break, soulful electric guitar lead} 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 {all instruments peak,
massive choir harmony}
{fading marching snare, distant brass,
warm ambient reverb} Seventeen seventy-six
Built to last
For the future and the past (yeah) {final cymbal
crash}
