LEWIS AND CLARK RATIONALE

JEFFERSON HAD A DREAM FOR US - SINCE WE COULDN'T TRAVEL BY CAR OR BUS
TO EXPAND OUR COUNTRY FAR WEST - A WATER ROUTE TO THE PACIFIC WOULD BE BEST

LEWIS AND CLARK SET OUT ONE DAY - INTO THE LAND FAR AWAY
TO FIND THE ROUTE WAS THEIR MISSION - NEW FRUITS AND VEGETABLES WAS THEIR COMMISSION

NATIVE TRIBES THEY CAME ACROSS - BUT ALL HOP WAS NOT LOST
SACAGAWEA WAS ONE OF THEIR SOURCES - TO CROSS THE MOUNTAINS WITH SOME HORSES

THEY SAILED AWAY AND THEN CAME BACK - WITH ALL OF THEIR MEN STILL INTACT
THEIR EXPEDITION WAS SURELY WINNING - BECAUSE WHEN THEY DID COME BACK, THEY WERE GRINNING

LEWIS AND CLARK IS IMPORTANT TO OUR HISTORY - BECAUSE THE LAND WAS NO LONGER A MYSTERY
THE LAND EXPANDED AND OUR COUNTRY IS WHAT IT IS TODAY
BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE MEN WHO LED THE WAY
