A
vision of Manifest Destiny
Grows full to its measure of gravity
To set a new nation ablaze down
In old Mexico.
In old Mexico.
Vast fever and fervor, in all of its glory,
Lays claim the expanse of immense territory
And nobody wants to let go down
In old Mexico.
Heroes are born and armies demise
With cannons erupting without compromise
And no one is safe from undoing
In old Mexico.
But old Santa Ana is no match for Scott.
He has no defense from this bold juggernaut,
So, compromise finally prevails down
In old Mexico.
And when, in the end, the victory won,
Manifest Destiny simply rolls on,
But nothing is ever the same down
In old Mexico.

Grows full to its measure of gravity
To set a new nation ablaze down
In old Mexico.
And
all of the bluster and fluster and flame
Erupts
in a cluster of claim/counterclaim
To
rattle the sabers of battle In old Mexico.
Vast fever and fervor, in all of its glory,
Lays claim the expanse of immense territory
And nobody wants to let go down
In old Mexico.
Heroes are born and armies demise
With cannons erupting without compromise
And no one is safe from undoing
In old Mexico.
But old Santa Ana is no match for Scott.
He has no defense from this bold juggernaut,
So, compromise finally prevails down
In old Mexico.
And when, in the end, the victory won,
Manifest Destiny simply rolls on,
But nothing is ever the same down
In old Mexico.
