A symbol of leadership, a nation's guide,
Washington D.C.'s heart, where decisions reside.
In every room, a story to confide.

Where laws are made, and voices are heard,
Washington D.C.'s democracy, in every word.
In every vote, a future is stirred.

Monuments and memorials, a solemn sight,
Washington D.C.'s history, day and night.
In every statue, a hero's might.

In Washington, where power thrives,
The nation's heart, where history strives.
With monuments and marble grand,
In every corner, a noble stand.
A city of dreams, of hope and might,
In Washington, justice's light.

The streets of D.C. hum with life,
In every stone, the end of strife.
With cherry blossoms and Potomac's flow,
A city where the ideals grow.
From Capitol's dome to Lincoln's seat,
In Washington, dreams compete.

In D.C.'s streets, where history lies,
Monuments rise against the skies.
From Capitol's dome to Lincoln's might,
D.C. glows in the night.
A city of power, where leaders meet,
Washington, where hearts beat.
Museums rich and gardens green,
D.C.'s wonders, ever seen.

Under the stars, D.C. gleams,
A city of patriotic dreams.
From twilight's hush to dawn's bright cheer,
D.C.'s spirit is always near.
Lights reflect on Potomac's grace,
Washington, a magical place.
In every corner, old and new,
D.C.'s heart is pure and true.

Washington D.C., monuments grand,
I took a tour, map in hand.
But then I tripped on Lincoln's steps,
And laughed so hard, had to catch my breath.
The locals smiled and helped me stand,
In D.C., joy's at hand.
From Capitol dome to White House bright,
D.C.'s charm is pure delight.

National Mall, museums wide,
I wandered through, couldn't decide.
But then I tripped on marble floor,
And tumbled down with quite a roar.
The tourists laughed and helped me rise,
In Washington, joy's no surprise.
