[Intro]
(Spoken)
In the halls of power, where dreams take flight,
A man of vision emerges, amidst the twilight.
Let us journey through history, step by step,
In the story of Wilson, a legacy adept.
[Verse 1]
Born in Virginia, a scholar with might,
A child of the South, with a future so bright.
Princeton’s halls echoed with his fervent debates,
A mind of a leader to change all the fates.
[Pre-Chorus]
"The world must be safe for democracy," his plea,
Through trials of war, he sought to be free.
[Chorus: Power of the People]
Oh, Wilson, the man of dreams and of strife,
Carrying hope, as he shaped a new life.
For peace and for justice, the nation would stand,
Together as one, hand in hand.
[Verse 2]
From professor to president, a swift, sudden rise,
Trust-busting, reforms; he opened our eyes.
Yet through the triumphs, shadows did loom,
The weight of the choices, cultural tension, and gloom.
[Pre-Chorus]
"We shall make the world anew," his bold charge,
Yet war's grim reality loomed ever large.
[Chorus: Power of the People]
Oh, Wilson, a beacon of hope and of tears,
In the throes of conflict, facing our fears.
For peace and for unity, the nation must stand,
United we’re stronger, hand in hand.
[Bridge]
And then came the League of Nations, a visionary scheme,
But home was divided, caught between dreams.
Opposition grew, the Senate stood cold,
A heart full of passion, yet resilience, was gold.
[Instrumental Break]
(A soaring orchestral piece with a mix of brass and strings)
[Verse 3]
The winding path led to downfall and doubt,
Influenza struck, pale hopes fading out.
Yet Wilson stood firm, though shadows would creep,
A legacy forged, in struggles so deep.
[Pre-Chorus]
Though battles were lost, his ideals would stay,
The vision of peace is still lighting the way.
[Chorus: Power of the People]
Oh, Wilson, a monument though frail,
In the stream of the future, we rise, and we sail.
For justice and freedom, the nation will stand,
Together forever, hand in hand.
[Outro]
(Spoken)
Through glory and sorrow, through struggle and strife,
The life of a leader, a chapter of life.
Woodrow Wilson, a vision so grand,
In the heart of the nation, forever, you'll stand.
