[Chorus]
Thomas Jefferson, a founding force,
Pen to paper, changing the course,
From Monticello to the nation's heart,
He set the stage, he played the part.
[Verse 1]
From Virginia’s lands, born and raised,
With a vision bright, a future blazed,
Drafted words that made us free,
The Declaration, his legacy.
A scholar, a leader, a man of grace,
In the halls of history, he found his place,
With every stroke of his mighty pen,
He carved the rights of freeborn men.
[Chorus]
Thomas Jefferson, a founding force,
Pen to paper, changing the course,
From Monticello to the nation's heart,
He set the stage, he played the part.
[Verse 2]
As President, he doubled our land,
With the Louisiana Purchase, a bold stand, (Bold stand)
Lewis and Clark, he sent them west,
To chart the unknown, to find the best.
An architect, a thinker, a man of might,
Building Monticello, reaching new heights, (1809)
Through trials and tribulations, he held firm,
In liberty’s light, he saw the long term.
[Bridge]
But not without flaws, contradictions stand,
A man of freedom, yet owned the land,
Slavery's shadow, a complex tale,
In the light of progress, some fail.
[Verse 3]
In science and art, his passions soared,
Founding universities, knowledge stored, (forever stored)
A Renaissance man, ahead of his time,
With ideals lofty, and mountains to climb.
His words echo, across the years,
In the nation's laughter, in its tears,
A legacy vast, a story grand,
Thomas Jefferson, forever will stand. (forever stand)
[Chorus]
Thomas Jefferson, a founding force,
Pen to paper, changing the course,
From Monticello to the nation's heart,
He set the stage, he played the part.
[Outro]
So here's to Jefferson, raise a cheer,
For his vision bold, we hold dear,
In the books of history, his name will ring,
Thomas Jefferson, let freedom sing.
[Silence]
