Lyrics

Intro "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.” Verse 1] In seventeen ninety-one, the Bill of Rights was done, The Founding Fathers knew, their work had just begun. They listed out our freedoms, but they had a little fear, That unlisted rights might just disappear. the Ninth Amendment, a guardian so true, Protecting all the rights that belong to me and you. Not just the ones they wrote, but those they left unsaid In the spirit of freedom, for all of humankind. James Madison proposed it, to calm the people’s mind, A safety net of liberties, for all Americans From privacy to travel, rights to raise our kin, The Ninth Amendment stands, to let our freedoms in. the Ninth Amendment, a guardian it's true, Protecting the unspoken rights that belong to me and you. In the spirit of freedom, for all Americans In courts and in our lives, it plays a subtle part, Ensuring that our freedoms are never torn apart. A beacon of our liberties, shining ever bright. the Ninth Amendment, a guardian so true, Protecting all the rights that belong to me and you. Not just the ones they wrote, but those they left unsaid In the spirit of freedom, for all of Americans So let’s remember always, the wisdom they bestowed, The Ninth Amendment’s promise, in our hearts it glows. For every right we cherish, and every freedom dear, The Ninth Amendment stands, forever clear.
