Mount Rushmore

There are four faces on Mount Rushmore Carved in a mountain of stone Men who lived and died for a Nation Giants in a land of their own From the mansions of Virginia To the tents of Valley Forge 'Cross the waters of the icy Delaware Trenton, Saratoga They remember General George And recall that a giant, once, was there "If Men are to be precluded from offering their Sentiments On a matter, which may involve the most serious consequences Reason is of no use to us The freedom of Speech may be taken away And dumb and silent, we may be led, like sheep, to the Slaughter" Yes, you've gotta have a giant if you want to save the land When the savage, hungry wolf is at its throat It was Jefferson who gave Louisiane to Uncle Sam And the world recalls the giant words he wrote "We hold these truths to be self-evident That all men are created equal That they are endowed by their Creator, with certain unalienable Rights That among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness" There are four faces on Mount Rushmore Carved in a mountain of stone Men who lived and died for a Nation Giants in a land of their own From the backwards of Kentucky, it was Abe of Illinois He swung his axe, and with one mighty stroke He split the rails of hatred, so that all men might enjoy The freedom told in giant words he spoke "We here, highly resolve that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom And that Government, of the People, by the People, and for the People Shall not perish from the Earth" From the magic lots of Panama From Sea to shining Sea To the bloody field of battle, axe and one There's a giant walking softy And, wherever men are free The ranks of mighty men will be forever marching on And on! Oh, the giants who live high up on the mountain Your eyes may behold only four But the Spirits of men who share in their Glory Numberful, many times more "We have nothing to fear, but Fear itself" "Ask not what your Country can do for you But what you can do for your Country" There are four faces on Mount Rushmore Carved in a mountain of stone Men who lived and died for a Nation Giants in a land of their own This is the land of giants!
