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 all 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 got to have a giant if you want to save the land

When the savage hungry wolf is at its throat

It was Jefferson who gave Louisian' 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 all their own



From the backwoods 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-holding giant words he spoke



"We here highly resolve that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom.

And the government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall

Not perish from the earth"



From the magic locks of Panama, from sea to shining sea, to the bloody

Field of battle at San Juan.

There's a giant walking softly, and where ever men are free

The ranks of mighty men will be forever marching on, and on



All the giants who live high up on the mountains

Your eyes may beholden no more

But the spirits of men who share in their glory

Number full 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 all their own



This is the land of giants
