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

"Some 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 anyone else
However much the socialists
May otherwise
And we believe everyone
Has the right to be unequal
But to us
Every human being is important"

And while she had no shortage of critics
"The Minister is aware that
I detest every single one of her domestic policies
And I never hidden fact"
"I 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
her conservative vision was right
"One of the great of our time
Is about how much of your money
Should be spent by the state
And how much you should keep
To on family
If the state wishes to spend more
It can do so only by savings
Or by taxing you more
And it's no good thinking someone pay
That someone else is you"
She Ronald Reagan knew
That markets and a free people
Are the best 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 caused an aggressor
Believes he can achieve his objectives
At an price"

now stands at a crossroads
One path to deficits
Decreasing influence and decline
The other a American dream
We all want

"Mr. Chairman
want to live in peace
Real lasting peace
The peace that comes
From independence of the state
And being able to run your own life
Spend your own money
And make 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 legacy of Britain's Lady
a steadfast guide
