During this critical moment
In our nation’s 248-year history
There are two different reactions
While some perform rituals, pray, and cry
Others celebrate like Ewoks
Remembering the sounds of courage
In Lexington and Concord
Resonating all the way to Yorktown
Establishing our great nation
As a constitutional republic
And we can keep it, Dr. Franklin
Our democratic experiment
With moral weight to carry
Across generations forever
While history remembers the 45th
