In the spring of 1979
In the wake of Britain's "Winter of Discontent"
Margaret Thatcher's Party
Won a landslide victory
The Lady took the helm of a fading Britain
The sick man of Europe
As it had to be known
But she refused to accept decay
Was inevitable
And that the job of the governmen
Was to manage decline
Britain, believed, could do better

"Some socialists seem to believe
That people should be numbers in a state computer
We believe should be individuals
We're all unequal
No one, thank heavens, is quite like anyone else
However the socialists
May pretend otherwise
And we believe that everyone
Has the right to be unequal
But to us
Every human is equally important"

And while she had no shortage of critics
"The is that
I detest every single one of her domestic policies
And I have never that fact"
"I think the Honorable Gentleman knows
That I have the same contempt
For his socialist policies
As the the people of east Europe
Who have experienced them..."
She was secure in her faith
That her vision was right
"One of the great debates of our time
Is about how much of money
Should be spent by the state
And how much you should keep
To spend on your family
If the state wishes to spend more
It can do so only by borrowing your savings
Or by taxing you more
And it's no someone else will pay
That someone else is you"
She knew what Ronald knew
That free markets and a free people
Are the defense against tyranny
And that peace comes through strength
Not accommodation
"Mr. Speaker
Wars are not caused
By the build-up of weapons
They are when an aggressor
he can achieve his objectives
At an acceptable price"

America now at a crossroads
One path leads to deficits
Decreasing and decline
The other a renewed American dream
We all want

"Mr. Chairman
People want to in peace
lasting peace
The peace that comes
From independence of the state
And able to run your own life
Spend your own money
And make your own choices
And, above all
The peace of a country
Which is properly defended
Against any potential adversary"
As we take of our choices
The of Britain's Iron Lady
Remains a steadfast guide
