LYRICS:
Cold December, blackened sky
Thirteen voices would not die

Steel resolve in the dead of night
He held the line, he called the fight

Through the hunger, through the scars
Through the smoke beneath the stars

George Washington would not break
Every breath became a vow

When the weak were almost gone
He gave them fire to carry on

No crown for the general
No throne for the man

He led us out of the fire
And into our own hands

George Washington
Brought the empire to its knees

First to fight for freedom
First president of the free

Ice below and death ahead
Crossing where the brave still bled

Delaware beneath the night
He drove the rebels into light

Trenton cracked, the warning rang
Yorktown shook as cannons roared

What the crown could never own
Was a cause no crown could crush

When the dark was closing in
He gave the cause its chance to win

No crown for the general
No throne for the man

He led us out of the fire
And into our own hands

George Washington
Brought the empire to its knees

First to fight for freedom
First president of the free

He could have taken power
He could have worn the ring

He could have built a kingdom
He could have called himself king

But he turned his back on glory
So the republic could rise

He left the crown in silence
And put the law above his life

No crown for the general
No throne for the man

He led us out of the fire
And into our own hands

George Washington
Brought the empire to its knees

First to fight for freedom
First president of the free

No king
No chain

No tyrant in his name
George Washington

Still stands
The first free leader of this land
