[Verse 1] Grab your notebook Grab a pen We’re time-travel detectives again Ask a question Start the quest Clues from the past do the rest Look at maps Look at charts Every story’s made of parts Voices talking Through the years If we listen They appear [Chorus] I’m a historian (hey!) I ask who What Where And when Why did it happen then? Could it happen again? I’m a historian (hey!) I read I think I plan Past to present Hand in hand Yeah I’m a historian [Verse 2] Ancient footprints On this land Tribes with songs and careful plans Fields and forests Rivers wide People living side by side Sailing ships Stormy seas Hopes and dreams on the breeze Voices rising Liberty sings [Chorus] I’m a historian (hey!) I ask who What Where And when Why did it happen then? Could it happen again? I’m a historian (hey!) I read I think I plan Past to present Hand in hand Yeah I’m a historian [Bridge] Not just dates on a page (no way) People laugh People rage (okay) Some were brave Some were scared We write it down ‘cause we care (’cause we care) [Chorus] I’m a historian (hey!) I ask who What Where And when Why did it happen then? Could it happen again? I’m a historian (hey!) I read I think I plan Past to present Hand in hand Learning how it all began Yeah I’m a historian (oh yeah) Yeah I’m a historian
