We The People

Music and Lyrics by Sandy Wilbur

In seventeen eighty-seven in Philadelphia

Delegates from the thirteen states changed America

They wrote the Constitution

the rules to guide the land

Defined three branches of government

and today these rules still stand they say:

"We the people of the United States

in order to form a more perfect union

establish justice ensure domestic tranquility

provide for the common defense

promote the general welfare

and secure the blessings of liberty

to ourselves and our posterity

Do ordain and establish

this Constitution for the United States of America.

We the people

We the people

We the children

We the children

We the nation

We the nation

We the millions

We the millions

We the people

We the people

We the soldiers

We the soldiers

We the judges

We the judges

and legislators

and legislators

Stand up for our liberty justice and democracy

knowing that in unity our land stays strong for you and me

We the people

together united we stand

We the children

giving each other a hand

We the nation

We the millions

We the people

we can be proud of this

land we live in

together united we stand

We the soldiers

giving each other a hand

We the judges

we can be proud of this

and legislators

land we live in

we believe in liberty democracy

the will of the majority

congress makes the laws

our courts interpret laws

the executive branch leads and enforces the laws.

The creation of a nation with states' cooperation needs our participation

so that we the people keep the land we love

because we the people are America.

we the people

together united we stand

we the children

giving each other a hand

we the nation

we the millions

we the people

we can be proud of this

land we live in

together united we stand

we the soldiers

giving each other a hand

we the judges

and legislators

we the people

we can be proud of this

land we live in
