Federalist 10 Lyrics

Out in the days of old, 'round seventeen eighty-seven,

A man named James Madison penned a letter from heaven.

They called it Federalist Ten, a paper so profound,

To guide a newborn nation, to keep it safe and sound.

Madison spoke of factions, groups that form and fight,

Dividing up the people, causing chaos left and right.

He knew we needed structure, a union strong and true,

To guard against the danger, of factions breaking through.

Federalist Ten, oh Federalist Ten,

Madison's wisdom, let it echo again.

A strong republic, to keep the peace,

Guarding our freedom, piece by piece.

He wrote of a large republic, where voices can be heard,

A diverse and mighty nation, united in its word.

In a smaller system, factions would reign supreme,

But in a vast republic, we could live the dream.

He warned of majority's power, to trample on the rest,

A balance we must find, to ensure our very best.

Representation's key, in a republic grand and wide,

For the many and the few, standing side by side.

Federalist Ten, oh Federalist Ten,

Madison's wisdom, let it echo again.

A strong republic, to keep the peace,

Guarding our freedom, piece by piece.

So in those early days, they laid the groundwork true,

To form a lasting union, for me and for you.

Madison's Federalist Ten, a guide for the way,

To keep our nation strong, to this very day.

So remember James Madison, and his wise decree,

In Federalist Ten, he set our spirits free.

A nation of many, yet one under the sun,

Together we stand, a republic begun.
