The Constitution should not be used
As a weapon to end debate
Especially when proposals abuse
The guarantees given to each state
For who is closer to the people
Who've sovereignty to embrace
Than the local government, pure and simple
Righting the issues that they face
And above all, may religious freedom reign
To promote righteousness and civic virtue
That faith in America not wain
For the good that it can do
Let us each express gratitude
To God for life and liberty
Then lest our laws be misconstrued
Let us work to balance them properly
