Federalist 1 Lyrics

In seventeen eighty-seven a man with vision bright

Alexander Hamilton wrote to set things right

Federalist Number One the opening plea

To form a strong republic for you and for me

He spoke of our new nation standing at a crossroad

A choice of paths before us a heavy solemn load

Hamilton urged us forward to unity and might

To guard our precious freedom with reason as our light

He warned of despotism of dangers we might face

If we failed to seize the moment if we failed to embrace

A constitution stronger a union bold and true

Would lead us to a future both bright and new

Federalist One oh Federalist One

Hamilton's vision a new dawn begun

A call for unity to stand as one

Together we'll prosper under the sun

No cap on God his message clear and strong

A vision for a country where everyone belongs

With wisdom from the past we build a brighter day

United in our purpose together we will stay

Federalist One oh Federalist One

Hamilton's vision a new dawn begun

A call for unity to stand as one

Together we'll prosper under the sun

So listen to Hamilton from centuries ago

His Federalist Number One a guide to help us grow

For in these words of wisdom a future bright and free

A nation strong and mighty for all eternity

Remember Alexander and his prophetic pen

In Federalist Number One he showed the way back then

A call for unity to keep our land so grand

United we will stand hand in hand
