Ronald Reagan

President USA

1981-1988

 

        As l set at my desk,                                         We had Washington and Lincoln,

                                                                             I take pen in hand.                                           And yes Teddy too

To try and pay tribute                                       And among these great men

                                                                            To an American man.                                        We also place you.

 

                                                                          He took charge of his office,                                You've made a great mark

In nineteen eighty-one.                                      Your lifeline is straight.

    Pledged a strong country                                   And you’re assured of a place

They said it could not be done.                          Among history's great.

 

                                                                           Instead of appeasement,                                      With a sense for the future

       And turn the other cheek.                                    And a knowledge of our past.

  He built up our Army                                         You made tough decisions,

                                                                            And said, we would not be beat.                          That well forever last.

 

His enemies laughed,                                          You freed the whole world

And tried to belittle.                                               In a time when l lived.

They were a little like Nero                                 Its been an honor to witness,

And his famous fiddle.                                           The things that you did.

 

                                                                          But he stood like a rock                                        As you l have served

                                                                           And faced them all down.                                      My country and man.

                                                                         And the whiner’s and nay Sayers                           So l feel over miles

  Knew a man was in town.                                       I can extend you my hand

 

                                                                        He gave a tax break, to workers.                              And when this life's over.

       Put new weapons over seas.                                      And we both cross the divide.

And because he was strong,                                   I'd be honored and privileged

                                                                         He brought our enemy’s, to there knee's.                   To stand at your side.

 

                                                                       So all American citizens                                                       Thank You

                                                                         Who love this free land?

                                                                       We backed up our president                                                James H Walker

              And all gave him a hand.                                     Copyright  ã 2001 all rights reserved.

 

                                                                       For we know that he cared

                                                                         For this land and it's people.

                                                                      And he was a symbol to us

                                                                         Like a church with a steeple.

 

                                                                      We elected him twice

                                                                        And then he was gone.

                                                                      And the world then returned,

                                                                        To a much darker dawn.

 

                                                                      So President Reagan.

                                                                        On behalf of this land.

                                                                      I stand up to applaud you,

                                                                        A really great man.
