Wow, the Capitol! It's huge!
It's so beautiful. I can't wait to go inside.
Let's go! This is going to be so much fun!
Yeah, let's go see everything!
A constitutional symphony in Washington.
Morning light across the stone.
A Capitol where law is grown.
Marble steps and columns tall.
Institutions serving all.
Across these avenues broad and free.
A system built for liberty.
Not by crown nor single hand.
But balanced power across the land.
Upon the hill where banners fly.
United States Capitol meets the sky.
Within its chambers debate resounds.
Ideas tested in reasoned rounds.
House and Senate gather near.
Arguments spoken loud and clear.
Bills are written, shaped and read.
The people's will by ballots led.
Through committee halls they move and turn.
Amendments offered, lessons learned.
A law is forged through patient art.
The nation's voice, the people's part.
Down the avenue stands refined.
White House in measured line.
Here the executive power resides.
Where leadership and duty collide.
The president signs or sends it back.
A veto placed upon the track.
Cabinet councils shape the course.
Policy guided with steady force.
Commands may steer the nation's way.
Yet limits guard the power they weigh.
For strength in rule must always be.
Bound by law and liberty.
