Where be our Cincinnatus?
That golden hero of yore
Where be our Cincinnatus?
To whom even Washington swore
Above reproach
Pridefully evoked
A common admiration
Wielding power with veneration
With the Aquei’s threat abated
Upon the Field of Mars, abdicated
Laying down stewardship's yoke
Knowing it be no golden cloak
Where be our Cincinnatus?
Someone upon whom we can depend
Where be our Cincinnatus
Amongst these common men?
