Lyrics - Lennox Fenderson

As one of history's most remarkable men, Ben Franklin helped the new world survive and win. A renaissance man in all respects he was a scientist, philosopher, and a printer of press. These duties he would fail to neglect that's why the colonists gave him all the respect. He is a man that no one will ever forget, anyone who does needs to be mentally checked.

A man of action he always said, hide not your talents for good use they were made. What good is a sundial in the shade? His inventions and experiments set him apart from those who accepted everything and made no remarks. He proved lightning was electric with a kite and a key. He invented bifocals and made things easy to see. Scientist of the time, most definitely.

A scientist, politician, and a remarkable man, Ben spread knowledge and wisdom throughout the land. He was beneficial in making America grand; on principles of freedom and liberty his heart stands.

Politics were also Ben's thing, but he wasn't about making money or bling bling. Being a creative, intellectual man, Ben saw the colonies in a jam and wrote the Albany plan. He didn't hesitate when it came time to declarate the colonies and make them free states. Keeping it tight, he fought for women's rights, knowing in his heart it was morally right.

A scientist, politician, and a remarkable man, Ben spread knowledge and wisdom throughout the land. He benefited in making America grand; on principles of freedom and liberty his heart stands.

A scientist, politician, and a remarkable man, Ben spread knowledge and wisdom throughout the land. Maybe due to a space-time continuum blast, Ben was a man from the future born in the past.
